The Mystic River watershed faces disproportionate impacts from climate change. Climate vulnerabilities are largely separated by the exposure, sensitivity and the ability to bounce back from an extreme weather event. How did we get there? What are the root causes? And how can we move forward in a just and equitable way? Join Melanie Gárate, Climate Resiliency Project Manager, to understand the history and legacy of discriminatory policies that have contributed to uneven climate vulnerabilities in our watershed. 25 minute presentation with time for Q&A. Registration Required. Please log on at 6:50 if you would like Zoom assistance.
