Upcoming Webinars
Climate and Health: A Focus on Solutions
Thursday, June 13, 2024 | 12 - 1 p.m.
Increased anthropogenic use of fossil fuels has brought about climate change and is adversely affecting planetary health. In recent years, the role of climate change on human health has also been brought into the discussion. A new Declaration on Climate and Health was signed by 124 countries at COP28, with the goal of preparing healthcare systems to cope with climate change and acknowledging the need for governments to protect people's health. Now is the time to increase momentum and implement solutions. In this webinar, Dr. Kari Nadeau, Chair of the Department of Environmental Health at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, discusses the many policies and solutions for combating climate change and details how each and every one of us can help with this global existential problem.
In Celebration of Old-Growth Forests and their Climate Contribution
Thursday, June 27, 2024 | 12 - 1 p.m.
Join Bob and Monica Leverett as they give us a tour through some of the notable old growth forests of the Northeast and their importance in mitigating climate change. Bob is the co-discoverer of most of the known old growth in Massachusetts and a recognized expert in the discipline of measuring trees.

They'll be joined in conversation by Andy Finton, TNC in Massachusetts' senior conservation ecologist.
