Governor’s Island, NY: September 26-27, 2019
Climate change creates new risks and exacerbates existing vulnerabilities in communities already facing water challenges. At this event we explored collective action and considered the following questions:
- How do we cope with the cultural and economic losses from climate change?
- How do we talk about loss that can’t be quantified?
- Do we build more structural defenses, or do we adapt our communities to the “new normal”?
- Who makes these decisions?
The “Art of Science / Science of Art” Symposium brought together artists, scientists, and engineers who: (1) are concerned about water management and climate change, and (2) recognize that we need to fundamentally shift who has a seat at the decision-making table.
Convening Partners:
Imagine Water Works, DecadesOut, Works on Water, and the US-Netherlands Water Management Network.
