For thousands of years, humans have faced environmental challenges – floods, wildfires, earthquakes, hurricanes, and more.

A new compilation of poetry and art called Weathering Change, published by the Harvard Office for Sustainability, features reflections on climate change by 21 members of the Harvard community, including an introduction to the volume and poems by HF Senior Ecologist Aaron Ellison.
