Ophelie Ronce, researcher at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) in Montpellier, France and currently an invited scholar at the Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Studies, UBC, will give a lecture entitled: Can biodiversity adapt to climate change?

She will illustrate existing mechanisms of adaptation to climate change through examples in animals and plants. You will have the opportunity to learn about their limits and how modelling sheds light on the many uncertainties about the future of biodiversity in altered climates. She will also discuss how to facilitate adaptation to climate change.

This event is presented by the Beaty Museum of the University of British Columbia, the Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Studies, and by the Consulate General of France in Vancouver.

Free event.
