Hannah Bergeman
I am a senior at Purdue University, double majoring in Natural Resources and Environmental Science and Anthropology, with minors in Political Science, Peace Studies, and Global Studies. I am particularly interested in the foundations that humans use in the development of our societies, especially in relation to the environment as well as the motivation of individuals toward issues that they deem worth altering. I think that this will be especially interesting in the context of a world conference in which each society has a different agenda that they would like to uphold as well as differing values and motivations toward the environment.
It will be the ability of humans to determine whether the overarching, intangible value of the environment and climate stability is more pressing than the immediate social concerns, that will determine the fate of our worldwide civilization.
