NYU Wagner and the NYU Urban Initiative present a series of virtual “WAGTalks” addressing a variety of socio-political and historical perspectives related to the current COVID crisis. These discussions will feature faculty and scholars from across NYU speaking on critical aspects of the pandemic, followed by Q&A.
Covid-19 is climate at warp speed. Climate scientists have been warning about runaway exponential growth and unprecedented economic impacts for decades. With Covid-19, they are playing out in a matter of days and weeks. Gernot Wagner, clinical associate professor at New York University’s Department of Environmental Studies and associated clinical professor at the NYU Wagner, will lead a discussion looking at lessons from climate applied to Covid-19, and vice versa.
