WHAT IS CLIMATE PREPAREDNESS WEEK?
During September 24–30* each year, we mark Climate Preparedness Week, dedicated to learning, service, and actions that better prepare our communities for extreme weather events. By coming together to host events, we provide the resources and space to think about the ways that climate change disadvantages some communities more than others.
THEME: THE WEATHER IS CHANGING: ARE YOU PREPARED?
By coming together to host educational and service-oriented events, we can equip ourselves and our communities with the resources, tools, and mindsets to build resilience in the face of changing weather and our changing climate. We’ll explore how severe weather and climate change affects us all--locally, globally, publicly, and personally. Additionally, we’ll learn about how the impacts of climate change and extreme weather intersect with racial, social, and economic justice and how we can respond to these changes from the ground up and the top down.
Virtual : The State of the Coast presented by The Trustees
Join The Trustees of Reservations and the public libraries in Vineyard Haven and Edgartown to hear from the lead author of the second annual “State of the Coast” report, detailing many of the coastal challenges being faced by communities on Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket and Gosnold, as well as potential adaptation methods for the future. Join the discussion to ask questions and see the latest modeling and data forecasts for 2050. Please register for this event at https://thetrustees.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ojdkJQuZSwq_i0cY1tr_xg
