Join the OCEAN:ICE and TipESM projects for another insightful discussion on the societal impacts of rising extreme weather event frequencies under climate change.

This short online event will delve into how consecutive events, such as floods and tropical cyclones, can push households across different income groups into poverty traps, preventing self-reliant recovery.

Speaker Inga Sauer will share her work on the critical tipping points that can lead to non-linear transitions in terms of individual household wellbeing and consumption, and how this can contribute to broader societal inequality. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore the intersection of climate change, poverty and inequality.

Climate Coffees are short, informal online get-togethers for scientists to share ideas, discuss methods, and communicate new results. It’s an opportunity to network and share their work. This one is organized by OCEAN:ICE, the Danish Meteorological Institute and the European Climate Research Alliance.
