Yale Alumni Academy and Harvard Alumni Travels have assembled a distinguished roster of expert faculty and alumni to address the leading climate change issues facing our planet. With eight presentations taking place over three weeks, we offer alumni participants interactive lectures and discussion sessions designed to inform, educate and expand your thinking on this important topic. Our Climate Change Conversations series coincides with the United Nations COP2 Conference taking place in Glasgow this November and features several speakers who will also address that conference.

The 2021 Global Environmental Justice Conference at the Yale School of the Environment will focus on a just green recovery. As we emerge from the pandemic into the reality of climate disruption, it is clear that restarting the economy cannot mean a return to the status quo. Instead, leaders in government and policy, NGO’s, universities, the private sector, and grassroots coalitions have a pronounced opportunity to rethink how we live.

Tune in to this conversation about the people and ideas behind the music. Robert Blocker (Dean, Yale School of Music) and Hsing-ay Hsu (pianist and Steinway Artist) explore their musical spirit, topical issues that musicians continue to confront across cultures and borders, and creativity as a source of courage and empowerment through Yale-China Midday Musical Moments.
