1:35:51Climate Change and Contagion: Complex Crises Past and Present
This talk utilizes paleoclimatology and historical analysis to examine how past climate shifts influenced civilizations. It draws parallels between historical complex crises and current challenges like climate change and pandemics, framed through a complex systems lens.
One of the greatest challenges we’ve ever faced as a species is anthropogenic climate change. Can the history of climate variability and change offer us solutions for the future? Paleoclimatology — the reconstruction of Earth’s past — reveals how shifts in the environment shaped the rise and fall of civilizations. Climate change has often been associated with what seem to be “contagious” risks, from conflict to pandemic disease. Drawing lessons and perspectives from the collapse of empires to the global crisis of the Little Ice Age, Kyle Harper explores the possibilities of navigating future crises by approaching both physical climate and human societies as complex systems.
