From raging wildfires, to flooding, to deadly heat waves and more, climate change is wreaking havoc on communities around the world. While climate change is inherently a global threat, the adverse impacts of climate change are manifested largely at the local level and vary from community to community, making local action critical for effective climate resilience strategies. In this session, hear from and engage with a panel of scientists and engineers who are active members of their community and have experience working toward building community resilience to climate change. Attendees will also have the opportunity to participate in an interactive activity to develop their own local engagement plans. All levels of interest and experience are invited to attend.
