Speaker Series

As part of our mission to highlight and disseminate the most relevant and impactful work on human development and climate change, DevSCA regularly hosts online Speaker Series talks where invited speakers discuss topics that align with our community’s particular interests. Past Speaker Series presentations have covered diverse topics ranging from reports on the latest academic research to community program leaders explaining their projects and long-serving advocates discussing their experiences working on climate-related policies.
