SUMMARY:Climate Week Webinar 3: No Single Solution to Living with Climate Change: Understanding the Many Solutions to Building Climate Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Waterfront Alliance and the Rise to Resilience Coalition. From the increasing extreme weather events to rising sea levels\, we must tackle not only how to stop the climate crisis\, but how to become resilient and adapt to it. Join a discussion on the many viable solutions that must work hand-in-hand for New York City. There is no silver bullet\, or single solution\, to address the extreme weather challenges across the five boroughs. In this webinar\, we explore current approaches taken by the federal\, state and city governments\, including the Army Corps’s New York-New Jersey Harbor and Tributaries Study\, to prepare for extreme weather events\, sea level rise\, and urban island heat effect. We will explore the critical need for sustained advocacy and coalition-building to ensure all of the many strategies become reality and are equitable\, implementable\, and actionable. \n  \nSPEAKERS Kate Boicourt\, Director\, Climate-Resilient Coasts and Watersheds\, New York-New Jersey\, Environmental Defense Fund Pamela Pettyjohn\, Executive Director\, Coney Island Beautification Project Tyler Taba\, Senior Manager for Climate Policy\, Waterfront Alliance \n  \nMODERATOR Cortney Koenig Worrall\, President and CEO\, Waterfront Alliance

SUMMARY:Climate Week Webinar 4: More Plastic Than Fish in the Harbor: How We Can Collectively Reduce Plastic Waste and Consumption
DESCRIPTION:Interested in learning\, collaborating\, and sharing best practices with like-minded organizations/individuals who are actively involved with reducing plastic consumption in the New York Harbor and surrounding water? Join us for a roundtable discussion that will bring together organizations and individuals who are actively involved in addressing one of the biggest and seemingly insurmountable environmental crises of our time.

SUMMARY:Climate Week Webinar 5: An Island Without Water – Understanding the Inequities to Accessing the Waterfront
DESCRIPTION:It is rare for New Yorkers to understand they live in a city surrounded by water. So many are either unaware of the water or how to access it. This is an unfortunate reality for many young people and families where large new waterfront parks are not the norm. Join us for a conversation that discusses the current inequities in access to useable waterfronts\, how environmental justice communities carry the burden\, and the severe limitations of underdeveloped waterfronts that provide no community benefits and are at significant risk due to climate hazards. We will also explore the physical/mental/social implications of not being able to access these natural\, water-filled\, and inspiring spaces. \n  \nSPEAKERS John Doyle\, President\, City Island Rising Daniel Rannells\, Director of Programs and Operations\, Bronx River Alliance Ben Regas\, Community Organizer\, Waterfront Alliance Arif Ullah\, Executive Director; South Bronx Unite \n  \nMODERATOR Furhana Husani\, Director of Programs and Climate Initiatives\, Waterfront Alliance
