"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.

Panelists:

Leah Austin, Ed.D., President and CEO, National Black Child Development Institute (NBCDI)
Gaurab Basu, M.D., Director of Education and Policy, Center for Climate, Health, and the Global Environment, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
