Bridging Science and Community for Climate Solutions

The Rohatyn Center for Global Affairs program on Science, Technology, Environment and Global Affairs presents “Bridging Science and Community for Climate Solutions” with Kyla Westphal.

Join us for a fireside chat with Kyla Westphal, Vice President of External Affairs at Ebb Carbon, where she leads efforts to responsibly scale marine carbon dioxide removal. Kyla works at what she calls “the intersection between technology and humanity,” leading both stakeholder engagement and ecological safety initiatives at Ebb Carbon. Her talk will highlight Project Macoma, Ebb’s marine carbon storage pilot, which builds on years of foundational environmental research and collaboration with Washington State regulators, community groups, and tribal governments. Project Macoma illustrates how marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) projects can contribute to climate solutions in ways that are both inclusive and environmentally responsible—offering a model for how new climate technologies can earn trust and support from the communities where they operate.

In-person event organized by Prof. Allison Jacobel.  For more information on the Rohatyn Center for Global Affairs, visit our website or stop by the Center in the Robert A. Jones ‘59 building.
