Our panel will consider how humans in different past societies responded to changes in climate, and how they overcame them 鈥� or failed to. We need to understand how this worked if we are to understand how to manage the climate crisis. History has lessons here, which technologically more complex contemporary societies need to take into account, and learn from.听Registration听via the听
