The Global CO2 Initiative and its affiliated student organization, the Michigan Carbon Capture Club, are excited to welcome Molly Kawahata to the stage at the University of Michigan on Friday, February 14, 2025.

Molly will speak about the transformative power of hope in the fight against climate change. The talk, “A Hopeful Horizon for Climate Action: Bridging Communications, Cognition, and the Science of Hope,” is free and open to the public, but attendees must register.

Molly is an award-winning speaker, strategist, ice climber, and former climate advisor to the Obama White House and subject of the acclaimed and award-winning Patagonia film, THE SCALE OF HOPE (2022).

Dubbed “the hope whisperer,” Molly has proven that hope is not a fluffy concept — it’s one of the most effective strategies at our disposal.
