Earth Day 2013
Live Streaming
Anthropogenic climate change is a uniquely "wicked" problem. Because of its complex nature, its planetary scale, its millennia-long impacts, and the seriousness of the risks it poses to the inhabitants of Earth – the climate crisis represents an unprecedented set of challenges for humankind.
Join us this Earth Day for a series of presentations on the nature and threat of climate change and the various approaches being used to design, develop, and implement concrete solutions.
Each presentation, including Q&A, is limited to 15 minutes, allowing the audience to come and leave as needed.
