Join us for a compelling fireside chat at the AMS 104th Annual Meeting’s Presidential Forum, exploring the multifaceted challenges and opportunities presented by climate change and emphasizing the importance of scientific advances, policy development, and public engagement.

Climate and environmental change are now altering our daily lives, and will dramatically affect our futures. Climate science is key to how we will all live in this changing environment, helping us understand what is happening and anticipate what is to come. But what can we do as scientists and professionals to ensure that our science is communicated and understood as a public service, and see that it is put to work to help build a solid future? Our 2024 AMS Presidential Forum will discuss how we can work to overcome significant barriers that limit the reach and impact of climate science, and of science-based responses to environmental change.

Moderated by distinguished and broadly recognized atmospheric scientist Dr. Kerry Emanuel, an expert on climate change and hurricane physics, a fireside chat will feature Monica Medina, President and CEO of the Wildlife Conservation Society, and Bob Inglis, Executive Director of RepublicEn.org. Both have fascinating stories to tell and are renowned for their broad and critical impact on advancing the societal response to climate change. AMS President Brad Colman will provide introductory comments.
