Event Context

As global temperatures rise, climate change is causing far-reaching impacts. Communities continue to experience extreme heat waves, destructive wildfires, and devastating floods and storms. Vulnerable and low-income populations feel these impacts the most.

Climate change presents an unprecedented threat — however, researchers are making progress to estimate the impacts of climate change on many aspects of society — like health, well-being, migration, and economic outputs — and offer potential solutions. This research offers a path forward to creating resilient communities that can respond to rapidly changing environmental conditions.
