<p class="MsoNormal">The Earth Institute and the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University are pleased to invite you to a panel event on ‘<b>Sustainability and Climate Change in the 2016 Presidential Race.’</b> Moderated by NBC’s Chuck
Todd, the panel of experts will examine the Obama administration’s efforts to take action on climate, look at which environmental issues will play a role in the upcoming election, and then look to our environmental future. Does it make a difference who wins
the next presidency, and by how much? How do environmental issues get on a presidential agenda? Panelists will also discuss how much impact the national election will have on what happens in our cities and communities.
