IIASA Director General John Schellnhuber gave a lecture on "Surviving the Anthropocene and Securing Human Well-being in the 21st Century" at the Austrian Embassy in Washington D.C. during his visit to the United States.
In this exclusive event, organized by the Embassy of Austria in cooperation with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM), John Schellnhuber discussed the challenges posed by the Anthropocene – the age when human activity started to have a significant impact on the planet's climate and ecosystems – and strategies for securing human wellbeing in the face of unprecedented environmental changes. Innovative solutions and pathways towards a more sustainable future were also explored.
The lecture was followed by an Austrian wine reception. The U.S. Committee for IIASA of the National Academy of Sciences invited everyone to participate in the discussion and meet the new Director General of IIASA.
