The Duke Center on Risk invites you to take part in the fifth in our series of conversations on risk as part of our ongoing initiative to engage scholars across Duke who are thinking about risk in any aspect of their teaching or research. Several Duke researchers will each give very short “lightning talks” about challenging issues of climate risk in their fields, how they are addressing these issues, and the kinds of collaborations they would welcome. This conversation will help contribute to the Duke Climate Commitment launched in September.

We look forward to seeing you at this Risk Watering Hole! Drinks and hors d’oeuvres will be provided.
