Session 1: ACES Intersections: Making Connections to Expand Our Community
Wednesday, December 16th from 10:00am–12:00pm EST
Please join us for a special session during which we will explore topics from several communities that have similar interests to ACES and for which there may be additional opportunities to further engage. During this session we will hear from expert speakers from the communities on Planetary Health and Natural Climate Solutions. The planetary health initiative is focused on the intersections between human disruptions to the environment and human health. The cross-disciplinary field has a dedicated journal The Lancet Planetary Health. Many of the objectives including assessing the changing environments impacts on people and the societal outcomes are highly relevant to the ACES community. Natural climate solutions focus on the biologic sequestration of carbon to mitigate the effects of climate change via a suite of best management practices. We anticipate the intersections between climate change science and management and the ACES community will only increase. After hearing from our speakers there will be time for questions and discussion.
