      Join us for the 4th Annual Climate Change Conversations. Yale Alumni Academy and the Yale School of the Environment have assembled a distinguished roster of expert faculty to address the leading climate change issues facing our wonderous planet. To shine a light on how climate change impacts all aspects of our life and relationships, this year we will be joined by an interdisciplinary cohort of faulty members representing different Yale schools, centers of excellence, laboratories, and innovative programs. These presentations offer alumni participants interactive lectures and discussion sessions designed to inform, educate, and expand your thinking on this important topic. We hope you will join one or more sessions for a challenging and thought-provoking opportunity to stay current on how Yale faculty are grappling with issues related to climate change.

      Yale Alumni Academy and the Yale School of the Environment have assembled a distinguished roster of expert faculty to address the leading climate change issues facing our wonderous planet. Please join us as we discuss Climate Migration Has Begun: What Does it Mean for Mental Health? with Dr. Maya Prabhu. Climate migration is already one of the key planetary challenges of the 21st century. Climate change will result in both slow and sudden-onset weather events (such as rising sea waters, droughts, and tropical storms) which will drive population displacement around the world. However, so-called climate migrants are not protected by international humanitarian and human rights law to the same degree as other categories of migrants fleeing persecution and armed conflict. Audience members will learn about the scope and complexity of climate migration and begin to understand some of the mechanisms by which climate change, migration and mental health are related. We will also begin to identify the range of mental health outcomes associated with climate migration both for migrants themselves and their receiving communities.

      Madagascar & Mauritius
      Add to Calendar 2023-12-05T00:00:00 2023-12-20T00:00:00 America/New_York Yale Alumni Academy | Madagascar to Mauritius: Islands of the Indian Ocean Aboard Hebridean Sky This is an extraordinary cruise for those who love the natural world and all its wonders. The star is Madagascar, a thousand-mile island boasting an impressive variety of spectacular landscapes from pristine coral reefs and coastal mangroves to virgin rain forests and native baobab trees. Geographically isolated for millions of years, nearly all of Madagascar’s intriguing animals and plants are found nowhere else on Earth, including nearly 100 varieties of lemurs. To maximize the time in Madagascar, this expedition begins with a private charter flight from Johannesburg, South Africa to Toliara, Madagascar. In the company of a top zoology professor and expert local guides, spend eleven days exploring Madagascar’s marine reserves and national parks traveling in comfort aboard the all-suite Hebridean Sky. Then, leaving the wonders of Madagascar behind, arrive at Réunion Island, a paradisiacal French outpost, to explore its white-sand beaches, spectacular dormant volcanoes, and vibrant Creole character. Disembark on the island of Mauritius, the perfect ending to our voyage, taking in this island’s cultural riches and geologic wonders before flying back to the U.S. Travelers will have the option of extending near Kruger National Park, South Africa and/or Mauritius. false

      Yale Alumni Academy and the Yale School of the Environment have assembled a distinguished roster of expert faculty to address the leading climate change issues facing our wonderous planet. Please join us as we discuss Bioeconomy, Forests, and Climate Change with Dr. Yuan Yao. The bioeconomy concept encourages using biomass (like plant materials) to replace fossil fuels for producing fuels, chemicals, and various products. Many bioeconomy pathways have been proposed to address climate change and global resource changes. Forests are crucial in supporting this emerging bioeconomy by supplying wood for creating renewable, recyclable, and biodegradable materials. However, it is essential to assess the potential impacts on the environment, economy, and society that bioeconomy strategies may have, especially in the context of forests. These assessments provide vital insights for forest management, investment decisions, and policymaking. This talk will discuss the concept of bioeconomy, its environmental implications, and the significant role of forests. In addition, the talk will introduce industrial ecology methods such as life cycle assessment, which are powerful tools to evaluate the sustainability of bioeconomy strategies and their potential impacts.
