Climate Change and Societal Impacts: Where We've Been, Where We Are, and Where We Are Going
Summer 2023 saw unprecedented temperatures and weather events across the globe. July was the hottest month on record. Deadly heat waves, massive wildfires, and flooding impacted communities here in the United States and around the world. Severe weather is becoming increasingly commonplace, resulting in loss of life, economic damage, food shortages, and forced climate-related migration. On Tuesday, October 17, 2023, the Columbia Climate School invites you to join us for an important conversation about climate change, the drivers behind these and other worrying trends, and what it all means for our collective future.
Please join us for a unique opportunity to hear from leading experts on climate change and disaster resilience and to ask your questions.
