Fernandez\, Professor Emeritus and Climate Research Scientist in the School of Forest Resources. \nCamden is blessed to share a border with a well-forested state park. While we’re sure you knew about the park\, do you also know that\, in addition to being a treasured natural resource\, our state park also provides solutions to many of the challenges presented by a warming world? \nIn the last Camden Talks Climate event of the spring\, Fernandez will explore how climate change affects forests\, including the ways in which forest management responds to those changes\, and how forests contribute to climate solutions. He’ll also briefly discuss the 2024 quadrennial update of the Maine Climate Action Plan—Maine Won’t Wait 2.0—including its seven overarching strategies for Maine action on greenhouse gas mitigation\, climate adaptation\, and building resilience in our communities and ecosystems.

SUMMARY:How to Instigate Action
DESCRIPTION:Camden Public Library. \nCamden Talks Climate “How to Instigate Action on Climate Change\,” with Kerry Emanuel\, MIT Professor Emeritus of Atmospheric Science at MIT. Property insurance rates are skyrocketing in Camden and nationwide due in large part to catastrophes like wildfires in Los Angeles and hurricanes in Florida that are caused or worsened by climate change. Yet the greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change continue to rise\, and little is being done to adapt infrastructure to handle the change. Emanuel argues that this inaction and\, even worse\, migration from less risky to more risky places\, are natural consequences of tax and insurance systems that subsidize building and rebuilding in high-risk locations. Professor Emanuel will present ideas for reversing this migration and sensible measures to deal with our changing climate.

SUMMARY:Camden Harbor Resilience Visioning Session
DESCRIPTION:Richardson Associates will share the outcomes of the survey and conversations to date and present preliminary high-level harbor visioning alternatives that provide resilience in different concept plans.  \nThey’ll seek community input on these alternatives to better understand the community’s preferences before shaping final recommendations.  \nThis interactive session will have each alternative printed in a large format so folks can comment and identify strengths and weaknesses\, using stickers dots and post-it notes. They’ll break the project area into six different sections called “reaches.”  \nParticipants will be asked to comment and prioritize the resilience strategies they like best in each reach\, rather than simply picking option A or option B. Refreshments and child care will be provided.
