About this Event

Join Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, celebrated marine biologist and author, in a frank conversation with Point Blue Conservation Science's Chief Science Officer, Dr. Grant Ballard. They will navigate the space between the daunting reality of our climate situation and the tangible, science-based opportunities for action.

The discussion will explore the powerful ideas in Dr. Johnson's book, What If We Get It Right?, which reframes the climate conversation from fear to possibility. They will also explore the learnings and changes from the past year since its publication, sharing fresh insights on teamwork and efforts that protect nature and communities in California and beyond.

This is not an evening of sugar-coating. It’s an invitation to find grounded, realistic hope. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the path forward and concrete ways to take part in building a better future.
