The Covid-19 pandemic is disrupting life unlike anything most of us have seen. While there is little evidence that the pandemic is spreading more quickly because of climate change there are clear parallels between the two crises. Join the Climate Adaptation Forum for a conversation on resilience and the connections between Covid-19 and climate change. Speakers will explore how our responses can make us more resilient to future threats, what climate resilience looks like in this new reality, and highlight success stories.

Join the Environmental Business Council, the Sustainable Solutions Lab at the University of Massachusetts Boston , and John Snow, Inc. (JSI) for this exciting virtual event.

Webinar login information will be sent in the registration confirmation email.
