About this Event:
Provost Liz Magill will interview leading UVA climate scientist and Environmental Sciences Professor Scott Doney on the current state of climate science. The emissions reductions targets for the Paris Climate accord were set based on science developed before 2015, and the last IPCC report came out in 2016. Provost Magill and Doney will discuss what we have learned in the past five years about human carbon emissions, our changing climate, and impacts on people and the planet. Karen McGlathery, director of UVA’s Environmental Resilience Institute, will provide opening remarks.
Event Host: The Environmental Resilience Institute
