An engaging discussion on groundbreaking research that reveals the unexpected drivers behind the recent unprecedented rise in global temperatures. Moderated by SDSN President Professor Jeffrey Sachs, this virtual event explored Dr. James Hansen and colleagues' findings in the latest publication, “Global Warming Has Accelerated,” their implications for climate sensitivity, and the urgent need for alternative approaches to mitigate the looming "point of no return." It will featured interventions by the following individuals:
- Dr. James Hansen, Lead Author and Director, Climate Science, Awareness, and Solutions, Columbia University Earth Institute
- Dr. Pushker Kharecha, Deputy Director, Climate Science, Awareness and Solutions, Columbia University Earth Institute
- Dr. Susanne Bauer, Climate Researcher, NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies
- Mr. Anton Keskinen, Executive Director, Operaatio Arktis
