Climate Change in the Time of Pandemic
This webinar will be of special interest to people:
- Who know there is a climate crisis and who want to understand the relationship with COVID 19 and our changing economy
- Who want up to date information on the climate crisis
- Who want to be reminded of what we can still do to mitigate climate change and still manage through COVID
This webinar is by Mark Maslin FRGS, FRSA is a professor of climatology at University College London.
Maslin is a leading scientist with particular expertise in past global and regional climatic change and has published over 165 papers in journals such as Science, Nature, and The Lancet.
His areas of scientific expertise include causes of past and future global climate change and its effects on the global carbon cycle, biodiversity, rainforests and human evolution. He also works on monitoring land carbon sinks using remote sensing and ecological models and international and national climate change policies.
You can expect to learn that climate change is the most critical issue facing the world in the 21st century. Everyone agrees we must keep global warming to under 2°C or under 1.5°C if possible. But how can we do this while dealing with the other great challenges of our age: pandemics, poverty, security, population growth, and environmental degradation. Climate change seems too big to deal with but Mark Maslin shows how we can rebuild the global economy after covid-19 and save our planet from climate change while still improving everyone’s lives.
This webinar will be initially available the following days and times:
- Tuesday Oct 13 at 7 p.m.,
