Economic Officer Charles Park spoke to 180 eleventh and twelfth graders at the Palmela Secondary School on April 20, 2015 about Climate Change. The topics of environment and climate change often are very popular with audiences and provide a venue for an active exchange. This event was no exception with students asking questions and others expressing concern about the issue.
After the presentation, Information Resource Center (IRC) Assistant Teresa Roque delivered an information packet to the students featuring a map of the United States, the Electronic Journal on Climate Change Perspectives, and items such as Facebook stickers, bookmarks featuring the 45th anniversary of Earth Day to acquaint them with our Embassy Facebook page and IRC services.
