The Doctors Without Borders HACE initiative and Columbia Climate School invite you to participate in a Climate Week event on September 19.
About this event
Join us for an interactive session across disciplines on Monday, September 19th from 3:00-6:00pm (EDT).
While an abundance of information is produced by weather and climate institutions, only a very limited amount reaches humanitarian practitioners – even in humanitarian contexts where climate plays a central role.
Climate scientists and humanitarian practitioners will reflect on the respective challenges they face regarding the use of climate data inviting a conversation on how climate scientists could better support humanitarian action.
Speakers include:
- Andrew Kruczkiewicz – Senior staff researcher, Columbia Climate School
- Abdel-Lathif Younous – Climate scientist, World Food Program
- Faith Toran – Fundraising and communications coordinator, Climate Smart MSF
- Léo Tremblay – Project manager, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) MACA - Met & Climate Assistance Program
Stay tuned for more information about our guest speakers!
