On October 7, 2015 from 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm at Sanders Theatre, 45 Quincy St., Cambridge, a panel of thought leaders from Boston and beyond will examine how Boston will manage the impending impacts of climate change. Hear how Boston and surrounding communities are preparing for the coming storm, and what kinds of investments may prevent the worst types of damages.  Imagine how Boston will look, as buildings and infrastructure change with sea level rise in a warmer world. Moderated by Daniel Schrag, Director, Harvard University Center for the Environment, the panel will include Atyia Martin, Chief Resilience Officer, City of Boston; James McCarthy, Agassiz Professor of Biological Oceanography, Harvard University; Carl Spector, Director of Climate and Environmental Planning, City of Boston; and Robert Young, Director, Program for the Study of Developed Shorelines, Western Carolina University.
