Climate Policy Debate: Shaan Lehal Vs. Ava Kotsen


Listen Later

On Today's episode, we are joined by Ava Kotsen and Shaan Lehal. The two freshman will discuss their views of how climate policy should take place. They will answer questions such as: What role does technological innovation play in your vision for the future? Do you think Covid-19 increases a need for climate action or reduces its prioritization? How does your plan appeal to the average American?


This debate was followed by a live student Q/A
