Come join the conversation about climate change and Bath’s waterfront, flood vulnerability, and coastal waters!
Hosted by Bath Climate Action Commission in partnership with KELT and the Patten Free Library.
When: Wednesday, March 22nd at 5:30 - 7:00pm
Where: Community Room, Patten Free Library (in-person or zoom)
Join experts from Bath and beyond to learn about the interactions between climate change and the waters that flow in and around Bath, and take part in a community discussion to share your thoughts and concerns.
The City of Bath has commissioned an engineering firm to develop a much more accurate model of flood vulnerability than anything that exists for the city, and this presentation will be the first chance to get a look at this new model of Bath’s vulnerability. The model is being developed as part of a climate change vulnerability assessment for the city, looking at vulnerabilities now and in the future with climate change. This new model will incorporate the combined impacts of river flooding from inland and storm surge flooding from the coast to accurately represent vulnerability to flooding today and in the future with sea level rise.
Learn about the areas most vulnerable to flooding and share your thoughts and concerns!
More details about this program are coming soon!!!
This program is the third of a continuing series of “Bath Climate Conversations” focused on learning, discussing, and connecting around ways to sustain and support our vibrant town as climate change occurs.
This program is presented in person and on Zoom. Registration is required for Zoom only.
The program includes:
1) A introduction presentation by an expert
2) A facilitated discussion, where community members can ask questions and share thoughts.
More Bath Climate Conversations are on their way in the coming year!
The first “Climate Conversation” program was last October and focused on climate change and the built environment. The second program was in Febraury and focused on Bath’s natural landscape.
