NHPR 'By Degrees' Climate Summit: How local communities are planning for the futre
Manage episode 429507662 series 1162310
In this hour, Where We Live is passing the microphone to our colleagues at New Hampshire Public Radio. Hear a conversation from NHPR's 'By Degrees' 2024 Climate Summit.
In the past year, New England has experienced storms in July, December, January, and April, resulting in flooding and significant property damage from the coast of Maine to the river valleys of Vermont.
These events can be painful. But in our response, we can also catch glimpses of the future. As author and climate activist Rebecca Solnit writes, “Disaster offers a view into another world for ourselves.” But how do we do it? And how do we do it in a sustained, long-term way – around climate solutions that might take years? How do we – at a local level, with our neighbors and local governments — meaningfully create the world we want?
This panel was moderated by Outside/In podcast reporter Justine Paradis and featured:
Claudia Diezmartinez Peregina: Policy Fellow at the City of Boston’s Environment Department
Kari White: Director of Community Health Equity at Northern Counties Health Care in the Northeast Kingdom, VT
Brianna O’Brien: Conservation Coordinator for the Town of Hampton, NH
