Adapting to Climate Change: Preparing Palo Alto for Inevitable Impacts
7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Lucie Stern, Community Room; Free admission—Doors open at 6:45 p.m.

Climate change is happening.  We must do everything possible to minimize its severity by reducing our use of fossil fuels, but we also should begin preparing ourselves for the changes ahead.  In Palo Alto we can expect an increased risk of flooding, water shortages and wildfires in our foothills.  

How can we prepare for these impacts?

Former Mayor Peter Drekmeier will identify some of the challenges ahead and measures we can take to reduce the local impacts of climate change.

Following Peter's talk, attendees will be invited to divide into small groups to discuss the issues presented.
