SUMMARY:Designing Climate Change Solutions\, Chaos & Complex Systems S
 eminar\, Tracey Holloway\, UW Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sc
 iences
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is affected by almost every sector of the e
 conomy and society (transportation\,  electricity\, consumption\, food
 \, agriculture\, land use\, manufacturing\, etc.). Similarly\, the  im
 pacts of climate change affect these same systems (extreme weather\, s
 easonal shifts\, agricultural vulnerability\, infrastructure\, public 
 health\, coastal areas\, etc.). So\, the options for  mitigating - red
 ucing emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases - or adapting - redu
 cing  vulnerability of systems - are almost limitless.  For the third 
 year in a row\, the SAGE (the Center for Sustainability and the Global
  Environment in the Nelson Institute) hosts the largest student enviro
 nmental innovation competition in the world: the Climate Leadership Ch
 allenge (CLC). The CLC focuses on innovative\, scaleable solutions to 
 climate change. In 2011\, the CLC will again be awarding a $50\,000 gr
 and prize to a student team interested in advancing a climate solution
 . This talk will discuss climate change mitigation and adaptation broa
 dly\, success stories\, and opportunities for students to compete this
  year.
