The sixth Global Environment Outlook (GEO-6), stresses that the scale of the environmental challenges we face requires true transformational change in how we produce the consume energy and food as well as how we manage waste, rather than simply incremental policies and business as usual. The Technical Summary of GEO-6 distills the science and data in the main report and synthesizes the information to make it more accessible to students and scientists, making it more useful both for teaching and learning at the unviersity level.

Tom Dormody, Regents Professor in Agricultural and Extension Education, will be retiring on February 1, 2021. He's been teaching AXED 466V "John Muir: Lessons in Sustainability" which uses the life of the conservationist and nature writers as the sticky glue for students to learn concepts related to sustainability. Tom started taking a deeper dive into sustainability when he hiked the John Muir Trail in 2009. He then served as Dean of Graduate School and Director of the Division of Education at CATIE, the Center for Tropical Agricultural Research and Higher Education in Turialba, Costa Rica from 2012 to 2013. Tom hopes to stay centered on sustainability and nature through his adventures, writing, and organizational participation.
