Dozens of Yale faculty, students, and other Yale community members will contribute to the negotiations, climate research, and informational sessions at the United Nations Climate Change Conference “COP21,” that began Nov. 30 in Paris. The goal of the gathering is to create a legally binding international agreement to help limit global climate change.
In a series of videos YaleNews has recently explored Yale faculty research and local campus community actions to both examine and help limit the effects of climate change here in Connecticut and on the Yale campus. These stories range from the need to effectively communicate the dangers of major coastal storms, to sustainability efforts in Yale’s campus operations, to how the subtle but steady changes in local average temperatures affect our Connecticut wildlife populations.
The videos in this series include:
- Storm Warnings: Hurricane Perceptions of Connecticut Coast Residents
- Sustainability solutions at Yale: Global challenges, local action
- Drowning marshes: Sea level rise and the fate of Connecticut’s salt marshes
- Evolution and climate change: What wood frogs and alewives can tell us
- Crucible of evolution: G. Evelyn Hutchinson and the invention of modern ecology
