 "How the environment affects early childhood development--and a roadmap for resilience" with Chelsea Clinton."

 As the effects of climate change become more visible in settings around the world, researchers, educators, and communities are starting to assess — and respond to — the consequences for children. Join Harvard as we welcome Chelsea Clinton to the Graduate School of Education, moderating a panel conversation with early childhood and health experts to focus attention on the impacts of environmental change on early childhood development. The discussion will outline cross-disciplinary solutions and actions to respond to, mitigate, and lessen the threat of climate change and help ensure all children can get a healthy start.
