Description
Scientists warn about the threats that impacts of climate change — such as sea level rise and extreme temperatures — present to our health and our engineered infrastructure. What can and should be done to protect the health and safety of the public?
We'll share a number of educational offerings developed with science, engineering, and urban planning experts that help citizens consider the difficult decisions communities face. We'll also showcase a series of citizen science projects, co-created by high school students, local scientists, and urban planners, on topics such as air quality and extreme temperatures — with a focus on planning healthier urban spaces.
Additionally, we'll highlight a number of tools, including live presentations and media, that help engage the public in decision-making under uncertain conditions. Lastly, take part in a deliberative forum on planning for sea level rise in Boston, and provide your feedback on several tools that can be easily adapted and implemented for formal education settings.
