It’s difficult for people to accept and adjust to the new realities of the future we are facing with global climate change. The dual challenges of limiting climate change and adapting to the changes that can’t be avoided means status quo is not an option. In this seminar, Dr. Boesch will discuss the need improve our ability to communicate the scale and urgency of the changes that Maryland and its citizens will face. While there is no quick fix to climate change, Dr. Boesch will share how science-informed policies are giving the Chesapeake Bay a head start, greater capacity, and better options for adapting to this future.
