Relaunch of Seeing the Woods
We are thrilled to announce the relaunch of the Rachel Carson Center's blog, Seeing the Woods. It serves as a venue for RCC fellows, staff, students, and affiliates to contribute their voices to the ever-evolving conversation within the environmental humanities.
In the newest article—the third entry of Vita Lacis’ series on Russian environmental politics—the author reads between the lines of Russia’s new Climate Doctrine and describes the federation’s approach to climate change as “martket-driven, opportunistic compliance with international goals on climate action.”
