Panel Discussion and Reception

Risk Tipping Points – Where Hope Lies

Join the Permanent Mission of Germany to the UN, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), the United Nations University - Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS), and the German Center for Research and Innovation (DWIH) New York to discuss ways to craft hope in times of crisis through education, research, and science communication. In a time of global climate and biodiversity crises, UNU-EHS/UNU-VIE’s flagship report, "Interconnected Disaster Risks 2023," looks at the shared causes and impacts of future risk tipping points and provides solution packages to not only steer us away from those tipping points, but to turn the trajectory toward hope and resilience. The panel discussion is followed by a reception at the German House in New York City.

Join in person on December 19
