				1	2 Virtual Lunch & Learn: Communities Combating Climate Change Virtual Lunch & Learn: Communities Combating Climate Change June 2, 2023 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm Register here: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAsduGorToiHtOtYdWlwoKVp2QjZXdOmny2. Join us for a talk on how climate change affects the Eno and surrounding communities. We will discuss how our work at the Eno River Association is tied to climate change mitigation, as well as what we hope to accomplish in the future. Climate change is a complex, multifaceted challenge that requires all hands on deck, and we hope that this talk will open the door to conversation on how we can work together to make a difference. A portion of this talk will be discussion-based, and we would love to hear from you – members of the community – about your experiences with climate change and how our work can address its effects.
