Events Calendar

Advisory TEDxMarin has made this Climate Change program a VIRTUAL event only in support of our collective efforts to curb the spread of Covid-19.

ALL TICKET HOLDERS will be sent a private link and passcode prior to the event to watch this program.

This Program will discuss: How sea-level rise and extreme heat will play out in the Bay Area, new research on decarbonization solutions and economic impacts of various solutions including inaction, what the Government is planning or NOT, future energy technologies and where possible and quicker solutions may be found, and what human migration projections look like. We will also explore the emotional and human element of “adaption" to our new realities.
