Climate Change at Home: Adaptation, Resilience and Social Equity

What:

Recent reports from the United Nations have sent dire warnings about future climate scenarios if global carbon emissions remain unchecked. In our own backyard, predictions for the Delaware Valley and South Jersey include increased precipitation, rising temperatures and more devastating storms.

Join StateImpact Pennsylvania and WHYY in a local discussion about the intersection of environmental justice, social equity and climate change as we explore what the potential damage to infrastructure, agriculture and the environment could mean for the public — especially among vulnerable communities.

Meet together at 5:15 in the Harnwell Lobby to walk over (the event is at Fisher Fine Arts Building, Room 414). Please email RA Sam Friskey (friskey@sas.upenn.com) if you would like to attend, and I will register you for a ticket. 

When:

Thursday September 12th, 2019 5:15 PM to 6:30 PM
