Our February webinar took place on Wednesday, February 17th, 2021 from 12-1pm. We built on last month’s climate resilience discussion to talk specifically about sea level rise. Sea level rise is one of the most tangible symptoms of climate change and it impacts a variety of natural and societal systems, from tides to community infrastructure. In order to plan for sea level changes within our region and communities, we need to understand future projections, decision-making frameworks, and adaptation actions. We discussed the current and future impacts of sea level rise and how we can engage stakeholders to make our communities more resilient.
