Water Webinar Series: Climate Change Impact on the World's Oceans and Coastal Systems: Proofing, Adapting, Mitigating?—15 July 2020
Climate variations have always impacted our ocean and coastal systems. A global concern is that the near-future rate of climate change may reach levels of which the impact is beyond our capacity to respond. Is it possible to make our oceans and/or coasts climate proof or if not can we achieve successful adaptation and mitigation measures? The webinar will address these issues albeit in a focused sense. Three contributions will be presented on (1) impact of climate change on our oceans, (2) impact of climate change on the Venice Lagoon and (3) impact of climate change on the Mississippi Delta.
Date & Time: 15 July 2020 16:00 pm (CEST) | 10:00 am (EDT) | 10:00 pm (CST Asia)
Duration: Maximum 2 hour
