Urban Climate Adaptation by Hixon Center - Kotchakorn Voraakhom, Yale World Fellow

The Hixon Center is pleased to announce its Fall 2026 Speaker Series on "Urban Climate Adaptation." Webinars will take place on Mondays from September 14 to October 5, from 12:00-1:00pm U.S. ET.

Cities are on the front lines of climate change, facing intensifying threats including extreme heat, flooding, and drought. What does it take to prepare for these hazards while making communities more livable and inclusive? This series brings together leaders exploring how adaptation strategies can work with nature, respond to interconnected local systems, and reflect the diverse needs and experiences of all residents. Drawing on a range of experience across research and practice, lecturers will share lessons cities can put to work as they navigate a changing climate. Join us to hear where new possibilities for resilient and equitable urban futures are taking shape!

All lectures are free and open to the public. Recordings of each session will be available on the event page by the following Monday.
