(JSI) for a discussion on climate resilience and the connections between Covid-19 and climate change. Speakers will explore how our responses can make us more resilient to future threats\, what climate resilience looks like in this new reality\, and highlight success stories. \nJuliette Kayyem\, national leader in homeland security and disaster response\, and Dr. Georges Benjamin\, President of the American Public Health Association\, will speak about the crisis on the national scale while local public health and environment leaders will share their experience on the ground in a panel moderated by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. \nForum Co-Chairs\nGabriela Boscio Santos\, Sustainability Engagement Manager\nBoston University\nLinkedIn \nNasser Brahim\, Senior Planner\, Climate Change Team\nKleinfelder\nLinkedIn \nTerry Greene\, Senior Environmental Health Specialist\, U.S.\nJSI\nLinkedIn \nKeynote Dialogue with Health and Disaster Response Leaders\nJuliette Kayyem\nBelfer Senior Lecturer in International Security\, Harvard Kennedy School\nFaculty Director\, Homeland Security Project\, Harvard University\nFaculty Affiliate\, Middle East Initiative\, Harvard University \n  \nGeorges C.
