Najam Gives Keynote at UNAGB Annual Meeting
Adil Najam, Dean of the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, delivered the keynote address at the Annual Meeting of the United Nations Association of Greater Boston (UNAGB) on September 17, 2018 at Barrister’s Hall at Boston University’s School of Law.
Founded over sixty years ago, UNAGB focuses on building understanding of and support for the work of the UN and its agencies. Dedicated to building a grassroots network of global citizens, we facilitate dialogue and offer innovative global educational programs in the community and classrooms in the Greater Boston area.
Najam discussed the “important and immediate challenge of climate change,” in the age of adaptation.
Let us accept that we are now living in the #AgeOfAdaptation. Let us stop talking about #ClimateChange in the future tense. The already vulnerable (poor) are now condemned to pay for the carbon sins of the wasteful affluent.
