Cornell Climate Change Forum
The Climate Change Forum is an initiative of Cornell faculty in the natural sciences, engineering, social sciences, and humanities for deeply interdisciplinary mutual learning in pursuit of an effective and just response to the challenge of global warming.
In the spring of 2009, we are bringing internationally eminent researchers on the impact of greenhouse gas emissions and means of containing it to Cornell, to present a series of public lectures.
Their talks and interactions with the Cornell and Ithaca communities, a spring seminar and workshop on climate change, and projected publications are some of the ways in which we will address the urgent questions posed by this central problem for humanity.
Sponsored by the Cornell Center for a Sustainable Future, with support from the Colleges of Engineering and Agriculture & Life Sciences and the Institute for Computational Sustainability
