What are the most concerning issues around climate change? How can we effectively take action?

Join this month’s discussion group meeting and bring your thoughts and ideas surrounding climate change risks and effective interventions (including topics like mitigation, adaptation, air pollution, policy interventions, food interventions, and geoengineering)! We welcome *EVERYONE* to bring their perspectives on the topic as well as any prompts/​questions you might have for others.

This month, we’re especially excited to be meeting in-person! We hope you’ll join us for this unofficial Earth Day event!

We also strongly encourage anyone interested in attending to read a few introductory materials we’ve prepared (30 minutes of core content with additional optional content available) before the discussion.
The goal of the readings is simply to ground the conversation so that participants can make the most of the event—but if you feel that you already have some background in the topic(s) (or if you simply want to join anyway), we would love for you to join the event!
