Explore climate extremes in the present and future with Dr. Sonia I. Seneviratne, Professor at ETH Zürich's Institute for Atmosphere and Climate Science and AGU Fellow. Delve into topics such as tipping points, land feedbacks, pathways to 1.5-degree warming, and potential solutions. Gain insights on policy implications, financial impacts, urbanization effects, methane concerns, temperature anomalies, geoengineering possibilities, and anthropogenic factors influencing climate change. Participate in poll questions and engage in a Q&A session to deepen your understanding of climate extremes and strategies to mitigate their worst effects.
