Dr. Laurie Adkin
Team Lead - Climate Action Plan for the University of Alberta
Laurie Adkin is a professor emerita in the Department of Political Science. She taught political ecology and studying the political economy of climate and environmental policy for more than three decades. She believes strongly that the University of Alberta has many resources to contribute to a just, post-carbon transition in Alberta. To do so, it needs to chart a new course guided by principles of climate justice. For these reasons, she kick-started the CAUA in February 2020.
