As the impacts of climate change intensify, the connection between science, risk, and policy has never been more crucial. Join us for an open and insightful evening exploring the state of the climate, the latest science on extreme weather and risk, and what must be done now to shape resilient and evidence-based climate policy. The event will feature keynote presentations from: ​

• Prof. Dr. Robert Vautard, Chair of IPCC Working Group I (The Physical Science Basis) ​
• Prof. Dr. Bart van den Hurk, Chair of IPCC Working Group II (Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability) ​
• Jenty Kirsch-Wood, Head Global Risk Analysis and Reporting Section, UNDRR ​
• Tamara Happé, PhD candidate part of project XAIDA​
• Sophie Buijs, PhD candidate part of project MYRIAD​

Together, these presentations will illuminate the pathways from scientific understanding to effective climate action. Following the talks, there will be ample time for discussion with the audience — including invited journalists, policymakers, scientists, and other stakeholders. ​
