Harvard Speaks on Climate Change: Climate & Health

Zoom

The Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability and the Vice Provost Office for Advances in Learning present Harvard Speaks on Climate Change, a new series featuring Harvard faculty working on different dimensions of the climate challenge. In this upcoming session, Professor Kari Nadeau will delve into the critical intersection of climate and health. Her insights will shed light on the significance of this relationship, especially as we approach COP28, where the topic of health is being addressed for the first time. Professor and Vice Provost for Climate and Sustainability Jim Stock will host. This series is part of the collection of VPAL Signature Events and is co-sponsored by the Harvard Alumni Association.

Our Artificial Nature: Perspectives on Design for an Era of Environmental Change

Piper Auditorium, Gund Hall, GSD, 42 Quincy St., Cambridge

Carson Chan, curator of the concurrent MoMA exhibition Emerging Ecologies: Architecture and the Rise of Environmentalism, will engage GSD faculty in a conversation about past design speculations, current research, and practice futures.

The conversation will address the cultural, social, and technological processes emerging within design discourse that aim to address ecological imperatives. The event will call attention to the idea that design practice is the creation of the artificial, as well as the imagination of our constructed environment in a moment when our designed and natural worlds are fused. Both the event and exhibition aim to situate current research within a history of design for environmental change, framing new paradigms for environmental design.

This event is part of ArtsThursdays, a university-wide initiative supported by Harvard University Committee on the Arts (HUCA).

Climate Symposium 2023

Harvard Business School 117 Western Ave, Boston, MA, United States

Students from the HBS Energy & Environment, the Sustainability, and the Food & Agriculture Clubs organize the annual Climate Symposium hosted at Harvard Business School.
