Cities and Climate Change: Lecture Series
Start Date: 1/30/2014Start Time: 6:30 PM
End Date: 1/30/2014End Time: 9:30 PM
Event Description
Robert Graff, Manager, Office of Energy and Climate Change Initiatives, Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission

Joan Blaustein, director of Urban Forestry and Ecosystem Management, Philadelphia Department of Parks and Recreation

 

Climate change poses a host of challenges for American cities, ranging from what trees to plant, to increases in heat-related deaths, to critical infrastructure protection in the face of increasingly severe weather events. And it is an open question as to whether American city governments have the organizational capacity, resources, and political will, to engage in the type of long-term planning that climate change will require.
 
In these lecture series students, faculty and staff will participate in discussions relating to topics regarding effects of climate change from city officials and experts from three very large, though otherwise quite different, American cities: Philadelphia, San Diego, and Phoenix.
