DENVER, June 04, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
June 5-7, 2019
What:
Peter Fiekowsky, Founder and Chairman of the Foundation for Climate Restoration (F4CR), will participate in two sessions at the upcoming GlobalMindED Conference.
As part of the Foundations & Funders Panel, which will focus on the emerging $1-trillion climate restoration industry, the MIT-educated physicist and climate restoration expert will discuss:
- why he believes it is entirely possible, using existing, commercially viable solutions, to return atmospheric CO2 to historically safe, pre-industrial levels of less than 300 parts per million by 2050, and
- how well-researched and already proven climate restoration solutions, such as those F4CR is currently pursuing, could scale up to remove trillions of tons of CO2 from the atmosphere.
For the Plenary Session, called “Restoring a Safe and Healthy Climate in a Single Generation,” Peter will speak on the strategic, coordinated action required from everyone – governments, organizations, individuals – around the world to ensure a healthy, habitable planet into the future.
For young people especially, like those involved in GlobalMindED, Peter’s message of hope and possibility over resignation and despair will resonate deeply.
