Does Climate Change Matter to the Jewelry Industry?
Worsening weather conditions, longer wildfire seasons, rising sea levels, the bleaching of coral reefs. Certainly, climate change and its impacts concern us all, but how does it relate to the jewelry industry and what can the industry do about it? Join Patricia Syvrud, MBA, GIA GG, and Program Manager for the University of Delaware's Gerard J. Mangone Climate Change Science and Policy Hub for a discussion on how climate change affects the jewelry industry and what young consumers expect from the businesses they frequent.
This is the first assignment in the 2022 Gem Access Program. The next program will be available in March 2022.
