Wilford Welch, climate change expert and author, will be speaking at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 14, at the Sausalito Council Chambers, located at 420 Litho St. in Sausalito.

Welch will look at the individual and collective actions that must be taken this decade to shape our future and avoid environmental and societal collapse. He will also address what the world may look like in 2050 if action is taken to get global warming under control, or what it may look like if global warming persists.

Welch is the author of “In Our Hands, A Handbook for Intergenerational Action to Solve the Climate Crisis,” now in its second edition.

Welch is also the former U.S. Diplomat who played a role in the United States decision to establish diplomatic relations with China during the Nixon administration. For decades he was a business consultant to major corporations, such as Citibank and Toyota, and to governments departments, including NASA in the United States, and the governments of Korea and Taiwan in the development of their electronic industries.

He has a Bachelor of Arts from Yale University, a law degree from the University of California, Berkeley, and a PMD degree from the Harvard Business School.

Welch is a resident of Sausalito and an appointed member of the City’s Sea Level Rise Task Force. The program is free. For more information, please call (415) 289-4121.
