Climate Briefing for Academia, Policy Makers & Public

Hawaii Climate Summit
Friday, November 14, 2014

We have added a briefing from 2:30-3:30 pm on the Windward Campus of Hawaii Pacific University, in the Academic Center, Room 101.

This will be an important briefing covering recent scientific observations on planetary changes and the substantial, accelerating impacts they will have on climate and life here in the Hawaiian Islands. Our islands are more vulnerable to the effects of climate change than any other place in America. The public, policy makers and business leaders all need to understand the coming changes and what they portend. This is vital emergency-climate-preparedness information.

Whether or not you think you are well informed about climate change, be prepared to be unprepared for what you will hear and see. The under-reported aspects of the causes, effects, risks and timing of climate change may significantly alter your worldview. Our situation can be mitigated if we take the warnings seriously.

Stuart Scott will conduct a briefing based upon research and on the ground observations of changes in the elements of Earth's ecosphere that will come to dominate our lives in the next couple of decades.

Mr. Scott is a long time Oahu resident, Deputy Director General of IESCO (International Ecological Safety Collaborative Organization), Chief Ecological Officer of NagaCorp, Ltd, an associate of Al Gore in the Climate Reality Project, and an international presenter, advisor and participant at the UN climate negotiations.

This briefing is vital input for the public, academic institutions, and policy makers in the State of Hawaii, and for Oahu, Hawaii's most densely populated island.
