On behalf of the Global Change Fellows:

Please join us for the first Global Change Seminar of the semester: We will explore the differential effects of climate change and the ability of populations to mitigate and adapt to the negative consequences of climate change. Is there a moral obligation to assist communities that have not been part of the climate mitigation conversation? How have communities been resilient in the past, and what adaptive resources should our institutions deploy? What ethical and social issues will be exacerbated by climate change? We invite you to listen, discuss, and explore these questions and more with our expert panel, as well as come with any questions or points of discussion that you would like to see a part of the conversation.
