COVID-19 and Climate Change: what lessons can we learn? and AGM 2022
LOCATION
37 Caledonian Road
London
N1 9BU
United Kingdom
The Royal Meteorological Society was delighted to return to hosting in-person meetings during 2022. It has been 3 years since an in-person AGM, due to the pandemic.
The threat of a pandemic has long been near the top of national risk registers. Alongside it is the escalating risk posed by climate change. Both are challenges with local, national and global implications, requiring local, national and global solutions. Both require urgency of action because of the scale and pace of the problem. And both are susceptible to exponential escalation. This meeting focused on the key lessons that have been learnt from the Covid-19 pandemic and how we can apply them to tackling climate change.
