Finding connection with our environment through graphic novels.

Graphic novels like the Black Panther series introduce us to new worlds and new ways of understanding ourselves and the environment. Join award-winning climate writer, Kendra Pierre-Louis to hear her thoughts about what the fictional world of Wakanda can teach us about climate adaptation and resilience.
