Title: Beyond Climate Change: the nuts and bolts of adaptation at the local scale
Speaker: Dr. Ruth Waldick
Date: Sunday, December 10, 2023
Time: 7:00 p.m. PT

Climate change has become the primary explanation for ongoing environmental disasters. But is this the whole story? Dr. Waldick asks the questions “what creates vulnerability to climate change?” and “what can be done locally to reduce vulnerability?” from a model watershed on a Gulf Island in coastal BC that is a microcosm of the larger challenge of adaptation.
