The Jane Goodall Center for Excellence in Environmental Studies at West Conn is hosting a five-part series of weekly lectures by faculty and students from the university and Danbury High School about Climate and Human Civilization. 

The series started last night and continues through April 16th. 

The first three talks are aimed at providing scientific evidence of changes in the Earth’s climate and exploring its impact including wild fires, natural disasters and species evolution and survival. The final two talks in the series will discuss constructive environmental actions that can be taken at the individual and community levels, and will examine the human costs of climate change.

All lectures will be Tuesdays at 7pm in Room 125 of the Science Building on the university’s Midtown campus.
