Talk and Art:

Global Crisis Information Network (GCINET), an action-oriented and awareness-raising team of Finnish and American activists concerned about climate change, combines a talk on climate change with art and performance, intending to simultaneously reach minds and touch souls, motivating audiences to take urgent action on the global climate crisis.

Moving between “talk” and “art,” the program will feature talks by climate change, energy, and sustainability experts Dr. Jouni Keronen, CIO and Vice President of Innovation Development, Fortum Corporation and Dr. Tapio Kanninen, Senior Fellow and Co-Director of the Project on Sustainable Global Governance at the Ralph Bunche Institute for International Studies at the Graduate Center of The City University of New York, and performances by singer-songwriter Laura Airaksinen, trumpet, Julian Smith, bass, and Yoichi Sato, drums.
