What does it mean to love someone in the midst of disaster? How has our practice of love adapted to the climate crisis? How are our collective desires evolving to find community in a time of unprecedented isolation? Sponsored by NRDC, Orion’s winter 2023 issue, Courting Disaster: Romance in the Climate Crisis, illuminates the many ways in which modern romance reveals the impacts of climate disaster.

Co-presented by NRDC and Orion Magazine, this virtual event will celebrate the issue by featuring contributors Lulu Miller (author of Why Fish Don’t Exist and co-host of Radiolab) and Erica Berry (author of Wolfish) in conversation with Ticora Jones, Chief Science Officer at NRDC. The panel will be moderated by Orion’s editor-in-chief Sumanth Prabhaker.
