Climate Change – The Issue That Dropped Off the Political Radar<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AACYF\/\u6d1b\u6749\u77f6\uff082026\u5e747\u670817\u65e5\uff09 – As extreme weather intensifies, public discourse about climate change has almost but disappeared \u2014 some pundits call it the \u201chush-hush\u201d syndrome. Climate scientists predict El Ni\u00f1o could be the most powerful event of the century, a \u201cmonster\u201d phenomenon. But governments and corporations have been scaling back their climate commitments, while misinformation spreads about clean energy, its growth, and its costs. How are climate scientists bridging the disconnect between shifting federal policy and climate messaging on the one hand and, on the other, the extreme weather conditions we are all experiencing \u2014 from drought to floods to sea rise? How are communities on the frontlines adapting and building more resilience?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speakers this week will tackle these questions, spotlight solutions and resilience strategies, and talk about what it means for our communities now and in the years ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
