The meeting’s speaker will be Quentin Prideaux, a Board member of Sustainable Wellesley. Quentin began studying climate change in the 1990’s and has been speaking on the subject since 2012.
Quentin will focus on the impacts and causes of climate change, the actions we need to take, and the implications to Massachusetts and the northeast.

There will be time for a Q&A session.
