Join us for a discussion on Geography of Hope by Chris Turner!

This inspiring book explores how communities around the world tackle climate and sustainability challenges through creativity, collaboration, and bold experimentation. Turner blends storytelling, journalism, and global examples to show how grassroots efforts and visionary leadership can shape better futures.

We’ll touch on themes like place and belonging, women as community shapers, systems change through small wins, and hope as an organizing principle—perfect for GIS practitioners and women-led networks.
