Mapping the Natural Causes of Climate Risk

The Arqus Winter School is a challenge-based approach to educating critically engaged European citizens, and it is being run in parallel at all seven Arqus universities this semester.

The Winter School will analyse different aspects of climate change science and the discourse surrounding the research on this subject.

Join us on Zoom here.

On Tuesday 23rd we will take
a broad look at natural causes of climate risk. After a general overview of the risk climate change poses, we will closer examine flooding, habitat shifts and coastal areas.

The session will be concluded with an assessment of a snippet of previous mitigation interventions.
