VU: Climate Extremes & Societal Risk event

Dit evenement is Engelstalig, en ook online te volgen.

As the impacts of climate change intensify, the connection between science, risk, and policy has never been more crucial. Join us for an open and insightful evening exploring the state of the climate, the latest science on extreme weather and risk, and what must be done now to shape resilient and evidence-based climate policy.
