Channel: Waterfront Alliance
Date: 2021-09-17

Join the Waterfront Alliance on September 17, 2021 from 9:30am to 10:30am to learn about what the most recent report from the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says about our atmosphere and learn about the work of the Waterfront Alliance in systems change.

Speakers: 
Róisín Commane, PhD, Assistant Professor of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Earth & Environmental Sciences, Columbia University  
Cortney Koenig Worrall, President and CEO, Waterfront Alliance 
Karen Imas, Vice President of Program, Waterfront Alliance 

The IPCC explains in its most recent report, “Human influence has warmed the climate at a rate that is unprecedented in at least the last 2000 years." And “Human-induced climate change is already affecting many weather and climate extremes in every region across the globe. Evidence of observed changes…has strengthened since [the last report].”.  

During this briefing for our supporters, hear about some of the latest in the state of science regarding atmospheric chemistry and what the data may and may not be telling us about emissions and future emissions reduction pathways. Waterfront Alliance will discuss the importance of systems change and the work to both reduce carbon emissions with investments in offshore wind and reduce the impacts of climate change to our communities.
