TODAY'S SEMINAR IS CANCELLED!

Climate change is starting to have a variety of impacts of the daily life of urban residents.  Stress and potential crisis associated with these shifts have motivated cities and urban communities to respond through new climate adaptation and mitigation options. The objective of this presentation is to review the key pathways through which cities have begun to act and how these strategies can be woven into the broader concepts of urban environmental policy transitions and opportunities for transformation

Presented by William Solecki, Hunter College.
