How might climate change impact higher education, and how should academics act now? How can we best support science teaching and research in an increasingly hostile environment?

This week the Future Trends Forum is honored to host one of the world’s leading climate thinkers, Michael E. Mann, director of the Center for Science, Sustainability & the Media at the University of Pennsylvania, and coauthor with Peter J. Hotez of Science Under Siege: How to Fight the Five Most Powerful Forces that Threaten our World (2025).

(Note that this is the first of a two-part Forum; next week we’re hosting Dr. Hotez)
