May's lecture, The Climate Crisis and Why Nuclear Power is Not the Solution will address a question that is central to current public policy debate in New Brunswick: How should we respond to the climate crisis? 

An officer of the Order of Canada and UN Global 500 Laureate, Ms. May has received honourary doctorates from Mount St. Vincent University, Mt. Allison University, University of New Brunswick, Atlantic School of Theology, and the Montreal Diocesan Theological College.

As special advisor to federal Environment Minister Tom McMillan in the 1980s, Ms. May helped organize the first international science-policy conference on global warming (Toronto, 1988) and she has attended many UN climate change and biodiversity convention negotiating sessions since 1992.  

This is a free public event.  All are welcome.
