The Salata Institute and the Harvard Alumni Association present Harvard Voices on Climate Change, a virtual series featuring Harvard faculty and fellows working on different dimensions of the climate challenge. This session features Ari Peskoe, Director of the Electricity Law Initiative at the Harvard Law School Environmental and Energy Law Program, and Elizabeth Thom, PhD Candidate in Government & Social Policy at Harvard University. Together, they will explore the critical topic of modernizing the U.S. power grid to support the dual demands of artificial intelligence and a transition to clean energy. This discussion will offer insights into the policy, legal, and technological challenges of grid development, while examining opportunities to drive sustainable innovation. Join us to learn about how these transformative forces are shaping the future of energy and climate solutions.
Please join us on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, 12:30-2:00 PM ET for a virtual presentation by Harvard’s Julie Battilana.

Epidemiologists (and historians) have learned an enormous amount by studying past outbreaks of infectious disease. Histories of epidemics have been used to calibrate epidemiological models and to understand the ways in which societies will likely respond to future disease outbreaks. Over the past decade, researchers and government officials have become increasingly concerned about climate related threats to public health, including heat waves, droughts, forest fires, and other extreme weather events. Like epidemics, these all have historical precedents. It is possible to examine the history of past climate-health emergencies in search of both epidemiological and historical insight into the nature of these threats. I will demonstrate this approach with an analysis of the heat wave that produced the hottest day in Boston history, July 4, 1911.
