The Paul R. Epstein Memorial Lecture Series Presents:
Around the globe, the consequences of the climate crisis are already apparent. Temperatures are increasing, storms are becoming stronger and sea levels are rising. These profound changes are having trickle down effects across our planet—species loss is accelerating, desertification is spreading and tropical diseases are expanding into new areas. What can be done to halt these changes? How can we promote positive, sustainable change across the globe? Join Vice President and Nobel Laureate Al Gore to discuss the future of our planet and its impact on our health.
On February 6, 2013, Vice President and Nobel Laureate Al Gore joined over 1,000 people at the Memorial Church in Harvard Yard to discuss the future of our planet and its impact on our health. Al Gore was the first lecturer in this memorial lecture series to honor Paul R. Epstein, a founding director of the Center for Health and the Global Environment.
