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:Saving Walden's World
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, 6:30-7:45 pm\, Camden Public Library. Screening of Belfast filmmaker Jim Merkel’s Saving Walden’s World as part of the free monthly series Camden Talks Climate. The showing will be followed by a Q&A and audience discussion with Merkel and Camden-based permaculture educator Joline Blais. \nThe award-winning film tells the compelling story of how individuals and communities can make profound impacts on the planet. Saving Walden’s World explores the urgent need for ecological balance through stories of resilience\, sustainability\, and hope in Slovenia\, Cuba\, and Kerala\, India. The film challenges us to rethink our relationship with nature\, empowering us to take meaningful actions for a healthier\, more harmonious world. \nJim Merkel is a filmmaker\, author\, and educator who moved from military weapons development to rural homesteading. His book Radical Simplicity empowers readers to create a globally equitable way of life.

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.
