Join us on Tuesday, February 3rd at 5:00 p.m. in Cheray 111, as we open the Care for Our Common Home Speaker Series with a talk that lays the foundation for understanding the climate challenges shaping our shared future. This kickoff event explores the climate impacts already affecting communities worldwide and here in Vermont—from extreme rainfall and flooding to shifting seasons and stressed ecosystems. The talk then turns to one of today’s most significant emerging climate risks: the potential weakening or collapse of major ocean current systems that helps regulate global temperatures and weather patterns. This event sets the stage for our series, hosted by Dr. Brandon Montemuro, by connecting global climate science to local realities—and to our responsibility to care for our common home.
