2023 is on track to be the hottest year on record. What do we do next?
Rising air temperatures are now a fact of life in the world's cities, with major implications for public health and urban design. Join a panel of global experts, innovators, and practitioners to learn more about the impacts of extreme heat on our bodies, our buildings, and our cities–and what individuals and institutions can do to prepare.
This hybrid panel discussion will include Robert Z. Lawrence, Albert L. Williams Professor of International Trade and Investment at HKS; and Anna Stansbury, Class of 1948 Career Development Assistant Professor and an Assistant Professor of Work and Organization Studies at the MIT Sloan School of Management. The panel will be moderated by Edoardo Campanella, M-RCBG research fellow and senior global economist at UniCredit Bank.
This event will take place in Wexner 434AB for those who wish to attend in person. Other may join us remotely via Zoom.
Online or at Richard A. and Susan F. Smith Campus Center, 1350 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge
