Understanding what it will take to reach our climate goals has taken on new urgency. All are invited to participate in a World Climate Exercise, which aims to teach people what it takes to achieve the UN goal of less than 2 deg C by 2100 in terms of reductions of greenhouse gas emissions by various regions around the globe. 

Participants are divided into regions of the world, and charged with making emissions pledges to stay below the 2 deg C threshold.  Find out what it takes to reach our climate goals.

Brain Buzz is a casual conversation around science hosted in collaboration with Dartmouth School of Graduate and Advanced Studies, the Upper Valley Food Co-op, and the Vermont INsittute of Natural Science.
