Climate Summit Details
Content
The Spring 2023 Climate Summit will cover an array of content relating climatology with life in New England. This will include talks on how climate change is altering our seasons, how it's changing the landscape, and jobs related to climate change.
Schedule
The Climate Summit will last for two hours, from 4-6pm. Speakers will be present in 30 minute chunks, with their presentations lasting for 15 minutes, followed by a 15 minute Q&A session and intermission.
Q&A sessions will be interactive, where viewers are able to ask any of their questions to the presenters and receive in-depth answers.
Intermission/Overlap will be used in case Q&A sessions last longer than the estimated time scheduled. This will ensure that all viewers are able to have their questions answered. If questions begin to cease, we'll move onto intermission, where viewers can get snacks, drinks, and take a screen break.
