Recent flooding in Wayland fits a pattern of increasing risks of extreme events, due to land use conversion and a changing climate. What exactly is going on? Should we be doing anything about it? Building on lessons from history, science and each other, we will engage in a serious yet fun, participatory game-based activity where your decisions will have consequences (with winners and losers).
Pablo Suarez is associate director of programs for the Red Cross/Red Crescent Climate Centre, as well as a visiting fellow at Boston University. A Wayland resident, he has worked in more than 45 countries. His doctoral dissertation examined Wayland's flood risk in the 21st century.
This is the fourth of this season’s GREAT PRESENTERS SERIES sponsored by the Wayland Public Library.
