TONIGHT: How Will Climate Change Affect Our Village? Community Discussion: Tuesday June 23, 8 to 9 pm
On Tuesday, June 23 from 8 to 9 pm, join us for an online interactive workshop, sponsored by the Village, on the climate threats Hastings-on-Hudson should anticipate experiencing in the coming decades. We will discuss the likely effects of those threats on our key assets such as structures, services, parks, and populations in our Village. We will explore why those assets may be particularly threatened, and personal perceptions and experiences related to those assets and their vulnerabilities. We will discuss how the covid pandemic has already exposed some of these vulnerabilities, and identify which actions and solutions we should prioritize so as to best adapt to and mitigate climate change.
The discussion is open to all residents. Below is information on how to register, as well as links to some background material. Prior to joining the discussion please view the short (16 minute) video on climate predictions for our Village, as well as a summary of the climate vulnerability survey results conducted by the Village earlier this year. If you have time, you can also scan the more detailed climate vulnerability survey results.
