SUMMARY:Virtual Event – "The Heat Is On: Health\, Society\, and Climate Adaptation"
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”26300″ img_size=”large”][vc_column_text] \n\n\nBrought to you by the University of Cologne NY Office\, ACG\, DWIH NY\, DFG & partners. \n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a discussion with experts from both sides of the Atlantic as they compare perspectives from Germany and the United States\, explore the medical and social dimensions of heat protection\, and consider how healthcare systems\, patients\, and communities can respond to rising temperatures. The conversation will address both the immediate health risks posed by heat and the broader societal challenge of strengthening resilience in a changing climate. \n\n\n\nA truly hot topic: With rising temperatures and more frequent heat waves\, the health impacts of heat are becoming increasingly urgent. Yet temperatures do not need to reach extreme levels to pose serious risks. They can trigger heart attacks and strokes and contribute to a growing burden of heat-related mortality that is likely to intensify with climate change and population aging. The effects are felt not only at the level of public health but also in everyday medical care\, where a prescription that is safe in the winter may become dangerous during a hot summer. \nHow dangerous is heat really\, even when temperatures do not appear extreme? How do rising temperatures affect healthcare systems\, patients\, and vulnerable populations? What forms of prevention\, patient education\, and community support are needed to reduce heat-related health risks? And how can societies adapt to the growing public health challenges posed by a warming world? \n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register Here” style=”classic” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fthe-heat-is-on-health-society-and-climate-adaptation-registration-1997508787555%3Faff%3Doddtdtcreator” css=”.vc_custom_1787081424433{background-color: #1e73be !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column_text]Dr. Beate Müller is a Professor for General Practice and the Director of the Institute of General Practice at the Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital Cologne\, University of Cologne.

SUMMARY:Boston: The Election that Destroyed a Democracy: Lessons from Weimar Germany
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The ACG will host the annual Dr. Richard M. Hunt Memorial Lecture and Dinner featuring Dr. Timothy W. Ryback\, Historian and Critically Acclaimed Author of 53 Days: How Hitler Dismantled a Democracy (2026); Co-Founder and Director of The Institute for Historical Justice and Reconciliation; and 1990 ACG Young Leader.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Purchase Tickets Here” style=”classic” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2F2026-dr-richard-m-hunt-memorial-lecture-and-dinner-tickets-1999540815405%3Faff%3Doddtdtcreator” css=”.vc_custom_1790368683438{background-color: #1e73be !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column_text]Dr. Timothy W. Ryback is an American historian\, author\, and journalist whose work focuses on twentieth-century European history and the legacy of the Holocaust. He has written on history and politics for more than three decades. He is the author of several books on Hitler’s Germany\, including 53 Days: How Hitler Dismantled a Democracy\, which was recently reviewed by the New York Times\, as well as Hitler’s Private Library\, a Washington Post Best Book of the Year\, and The Last Survivor\, a New York Times Notable Book. His books have been translated into more than 30 languages. Dr. Ryback has published extensively on the complexities of unresolved historical legacies for The New Yorker\, The New York Times Magazine\, The Wall Street Journal\, The Atlantic\, and the Financial Times\, among others. He is the Cofounder and Director of the Institute for Historical Justice and Reconciliation in The Hague. Dr. Ryback previously served as the Deputy Director-General of the Académie Diplomatique Internationale in Paris and as Vice President and Resident Director of the Salzburg Global Seminar in Salzburg\, Austria. Dr. Ryback holds a doctorate from Harvard University\, where he has also served as a lecturer in History and Literature. He and his wife live in Europe. \nThe Dr. Richard M. Hunt Memorial Lecture Series honors late ACG Vice Chairman Dr. Richard M. Hunt\, who was deeply committed to strengthening ties between Germany and the United States and gave exceptional support to the ACG for 50 years. He was the first and longest-serving President in the organization’s history\, from 1972 to 1988\, and subsequently served as Vice Chairman until his passing on April 10\, 2020. During his tenure\, Rick Hunt worked tirelessly behind the scenes to help create the American-German Young Leaders Conference\, launched in 1973\, and the McCloy Fellowship program\, launched in 1976 – both of which remain central to our work today. He also helped shape the German-American Conference. These programs are just a fraction of his many lasting legacies to the Council. His wise counsel\, his keen knowledge of German-American relations\, his faith in younger generations\, and his warm\, unassuming manner are sorely missed.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
