Our planet is undergoing profound changes, from climate change to ocean acidification, from species extinction to desertification. We are now “living in the new normal”—the theme of the 5th annual Aspen Environment Forum. The Forum brings together experts and citizens for a lively discussion on how human society can adapt to—not just accept—radical environmental changes.
