Yale Climate Day is an opportunity for the Yale community to come together on climate change, one of the most pressing environmental problems humanity is facing. This year we will be hosting an afternoon online event that includes a discussion on US climate policy, short climate talks by Yale faculty, a poster session where emerging scholars showcase their work, and a photo contest. We hope you join us for this important discussion!
