Ep. 57: The Maryland Climate Futures Symposium

On today's episode we hear a rebroadcast of a special event sponsored by the UMBC Sondheim Public Affairs Scholars Program. In April of 2024 (Earth Month, coincidentally), the Sondheim program convened a special panel of five policy experts on climate change to discuss Maryland's climate future.

The Climate Futures policy event brought together distinguished speakers from academia, government, and nonprofit organizations.

Serena Coleman McIlwain is the Secretary of the Environment for the state of Maryland, having assumed the role under the administration of Governor Wes Moore in March of 2023.

Dr. Meghan Avolio is Associate Professor of Earth & Planetary Sciences at the Johns Hopkins University.

Sarah T. Koser serves as Restoration Program Manager at the Chesapeake Bay Trust.

Julieta Rodrigo is Urban and Community Resilience Manager at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation.

Brady Walker is Head of US Government Affairs and Market Strategy at Ørsted, a major Danish energy firm specializing in green energy delivery, and is also a UMBC Sondheim Scholars Program alumnus.
