What do we have to do, and when, to avoid catastrophic global warming?

Climate scientist Danny Harvey provides the answer. A dynamic U of T Professor of Geography, he has written two textbooks on climate science, three books on solutions, over a hundred scientific papers relating to the climate problem and has co-authored reports for the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Commentaries will be provided by two panelists to articulate the viewpoints of young people facing the climate crisis. Allie Rougeot is from the Toronto chapter of Fridays for Future, an organization of students that mobilizes hundreds of thousands of people worldwide in global protests of climate inaction. Sara Beiruti created a vibrant student Science for Peace campus group. Richard Sandbrook, U of T political scientist and president of SfP, is the moderator.
