As the need to protect our planet intensifies, the debate over responsibility continues, should individuals bear the weight of sustainable living, or is systemic change through policy the real key to a greener future?

This engaging panel, held on Earth Day 2025, will bring together geographers to explore the balance between personal lifestyle choices and large-scale legislative action.

From carbon footprints to corporate accountability, we’ll discuss what truly moves the needle on climate action and how individuals can push for broader change.
