Lessons for Addressing Climate Change from the COVID-19 Pandemic
May 18, 2021 at 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
The Smithsonian Environmental Research Center presents a talk by Alice Hill of the Council on Foreign Relations.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a crisis unlike any other in living memory. It has also exposed the consequences of failing to prepare for catastrophic risk on a global scale. Both pandemics and climate change act as threat multipliers, amplifying risks to global stability, the economy and social welfare. Alice Hill will explore the vast similarities between Climate Change and pandemics, and reveal how the world’s response to COVID-19 offers critical insights into how countries and communities can prepare for the accelerating impacts of climate change.
