Human and Earth systems interlinkages
Join AIMES, the Earth Commission, Future Earth, and WCRP Safe Landing Climates Lighthouse Activity in a discussion series to advance knowledge on tipping elements, irreversibility, and abrupt changes in the Earth system.
Whilst previous events have focused on the Earth system alone, this webinar with world-leading researchers will explore the interlinkages between tipping elements in Earth and human systems. Speakers will present historic and contemporary examples of how Earth system tipping elements affect societies and the people within them (MIRO board).
Presentations:
- The Dust Bowl: Enduring socio-economic impacts of an environmental catastrophe - Richard Hornbeck
- Earth System Change and Tipping: The Case of Small Island Developing States – Michelle Mycoo
- Q&A and Discussion
Moderated by Gabi Hegerl, Climate System Science, School of Geosciences, University of Edinburgh and Caroline Zimm, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA).
