Climate Change: A call to action

Remote participation option available
Do you enjoy coffee, chocolate, vanilla, or wine? These favorite foods and many more are being impacted by human caused climate change. These changes are evident everywhere, including in our backyards. We are experiencing more extreme weather events, increasing temperatures, and shifting rainfall patterns. These local to global changes are rapidly making the business of growing our food riskier.
Mike Hoffmann, Executive Director of the Cornell Institute for Climate Smart Solutions, will help attendees understand the basics of climate change, the evidence around us, and how the changing climate is affecting our current abundant and diverse food supply, including what we grow locally.
Climate change is a food security issue, a national security issue, and a moral issue. Addressing this grand challenge requires “all hands on deck.” Cornell is making great strides in reducing our negative impact on the climate but the level of impact depends, in large part, on the knowledge and actions of employees at work and at home. We all have a role to play.
