Clean Air-Cool Planet, in partnership with Wetlands Watch and Old Dominion University, is holding a coastal community and climate roundtable in Hampton Roads to talk about the latest science on sea level rise. Two internationally known scientists will discuss recent findings about ice melt in the Arctic that change predictions of probable sea level rise to at least 3 feet and as much as 6 feet by 2109.
For Hampton Roads, already facing the greatest threat from sea level rise of any region along the Atlantic Coast, this new consensus increases the urgency for us to respond. Clean Air- Cool Planet, Wetlands Watch, and Old Dominion University are looking to involve key stakeholders like you in a conversation on how to take meaningful and lasting action at a national, state, and local level!
This event has limited space and is invite-only; please inquire for more information.
