Join fellow Duke alum to discuss the 2024 Duke Common Experience book which looks at the complexity of the climate crisis. "All We Can Save" is an anthology of writings by 60 women at the forefront of the climate movement.  

ABOUT THE BOOK

There is a renaissance blooming in the climate movement: leadership that is more characteristically feminine and more faithfully feminist, rooted in compassion, connection, creativity, and collaboration. While it’s clear that women and girls are vital voices and agents of change for this planet, they are too often missing from the proverbial “table.” More than a problem of bias, it’s a dynamic that sets us up for failure. To change everything, we need everyone. 

Intermixing essays with poetry and art, this book is both a balm and a guide for knowing and holding what has been done to the world, while bolstering our resolve never to give up on each other or our collective future. We must summon truth, courage, and solutions, to turn away from the brink and toward life-giving possibility. Curated by two climate leaders, this book is a collection and celebration of visionaries who are leading us on a path toward all we can save. 

Thank you to Corell Moore B.S.E.'84, P'11 for hosting this event!
