Speaker: Dr. Jennifer Jacquet – Abess Center for Ecosystem Science Policy

Dr. Jacquet earned a Ph.D. in natural resource management and environmental studies from the University of British Columbia, and her dissertation was titled "Fish As Food in an Age of Globalization." Today, she has several projects on how the animal agriculture industry engages in climate politics, and published an op-ed in the Washington Post noting, "The meat industry is doing exactly what Big Oil does to fight climate action."
