Fridays’ lunchtime roundtable will feature 4 new UF Law faculty whose work lies at the intersection of “Climate And…” – And Insurance, And Poverty, And Corporate Securities, And National Security.

 

Friday’s evening’s banquet continues the Conference’s exploration of the Rights of Nature with a keynote address by Thomas Linzey, Esg., Co-founder and Senior Legal Counsel for the Community Environmental Defense Fund.

Saturday’s workshop will be devoted to  citizens and communities seeking to establish rights for nature through political and policy processes in Florida and elsewhere. 

 

The Conference will conclude with a special treat: a visual and verbal exploration of Florida’s environmental history by Florida’s unofficial “historian laureate,” Dr. Gary Mormino, author of “Land of Sunshine: State of Dreams,” and Photographer John Moran, whose photos of natural Florida have inspired both awe and action,  becoming quite literally “Exhibit A.”
