Where
Join the Center for Climate Adaptation Science and Solutions (CCASS) on Wednesday, February 26 from 4-5:15 pm in ENR2, room S225 to hear from some of the world’s leading experts in climate adaptation. This is a rare opportunity to meet with truly exceptional visionaries in their fields who represent a wide array of disciplines. The event will feature lightning talks during which speakers will briefly reflect on their work and the state of the adaptation field. There will be plenty of time for informal discussion and Q&A during the event and at the social hour afterward.
CCASS and the Arizona Institute for Resilience (AIR) are excited to host a social hour with the speakers immediately following the event at Frog & Firkin (874 E University Blvd) from 5:30-7 pm. CCASS will provide appetizers; beverages will be on your own. We hope you will join us and spend time with these all-stars (who are also nice people!).
Registration is required for one or both events. Spots are sure to fill up quickly, so please register at the link below as soon as possible.
