Rare Conversations with Leidy Klotz: The Untapped Science of Less
Whether it’s building with LEGO® toys or building cities, we often think to solve problems by adding to the equation. But what happens if we subtract instead? Leidy Klotz, professor at the University of Virginia, explores this paradigm shift in his new book, Subtract: the Untapped Science of Less. Join Leidy in conversation with Dr. Madhuri Karak of Rare’s Center for Behavior & the Environment on how we might tap into this mindset to better solve ecological challenges.

Rare Conversations with Julie Packard: The Ocean-Climate Connection
October 8, 2020
Climate change is here. It’s the wildfires from Australia, the Amazon, and America’s west coast. It’s the hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico and heatwaves in Siberia. And it’s the warming of our ocean, so critical to lives and livelihoods around the world. So, what does climate change mean for life in the ocean? What does it mean for vulnerable coastal communities – in the U.S. and around the world? And what can we do to help?
Join us for an interactive conversation with ocean advocate and philanthropist Julie Packard, Executive Director of the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and Rare Philippines VP Rocky Sanchez Tirona as they discuss the ocean-climate connection, and how a healthy ocean is a critical piece of the climate puzzle.

Rare Conversations with Robert Frank: Can Peer Pressure Solve Climate Change?
August 13, 2020
Behavioral science tells us that we take action when we see our friends and neighbors take action. So how can we use the power of social forces to tackle one of the greatest threats of our time: climate change? Join us for an interactive conversation with New York Times best-selling author and behavioral economist Robert Frank to discuss some of the key findings from his recent book, Under the Influence: Putting Peer Pressure to Work.
