Climate Change and Peace
Join the League of Women Voters of Berkeley, Albany and Emeryville; the United Nations Association-USA East Bay; and UC Berkeley International House for “Climate Change and Peace: Why the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Won the Nobel Peace Prize” at UC Berkeley International House (2299 Piedmont Avenue in Berkeley) on Sunday, September 21 from 3 to 6 p.m.
Addressing these critical environmental and social challenges of climate change and peace will be a panel of renown scientists and IPCC lead author Daniel Kammen, UC Berkeley Professor of Energy and Society. Dr. Kammen will give an overview of what the IPCC is now doing, where its future focus is likely to be, and what it previously has done that merited the award of the Nobel Peace Prize. A small panel of other eminent researchers and scholars in this field will present further on the issues related to climate change and peace. All the speakers will then respond to questions they receive from the audience.
