THE CLIMATE MITIGATION-ADAPTATION CONUNDRUM?
A webinar presented by David Spratt
David Spratt is the Research Director for the Breakthrough National Centre for Climate Restoration in Australia.
Description
Does responding to climate warming require both a fast reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (mitigation) AND efforts to protect people and nature from the impacts (adaptation)? Should we do both? Can we do both? Would adaptation at the expense of emissions reduction create an unliveable world?
Join us for a presentation from David followed by a discussion and Q&A.
