Climate change is global. But the way we experience it is personal—and profoundly local.
What does climate change mean for the people who live in a small town in the Mississippi River Delta region? It might mean an inoperable water supply system after a major storm, a neighborhood that is dangerously hotter than another, a home insurance policy that is suddenly unaffordable, or a flood protection system that can’t keep up with overwhelming rainfall rates.
This Climate Conversation will explore what happens when climate science gets close to home—and when communities have the information they need to understand and prepare for the risks they face. Join Max Holmes and the Woodwell Climate Risk Team to learn more about their work with Eudora and Wilmot, Arkansas, two small communities in the Upper Delta working to better understand their climate future.
Delivering high-quality climate modeling and technical analysis allows Woodwell to help communities transform their climate response, investing resources informed by climate models. By translating complex climate data into practical options for action, we empower these communities to shift toward proactive planning.
At its heart, this is a conversation about making climate change tangible, making climate science useful, and ensuring access to that science isn’t limited to communities that can afford it.
Because climate change may be global, but we experience it one community, one neighborhood, and one decision at a time.
This event will be offered both in-person and virtually, please register in advance.
Woodwell Climate Conversations is a monthly event series designed to engage our community and foster meaningful discussion about climate change and its impacts.
This series provides a platform for both in-person and virtual discussions, workshops, and presentations.
Join us each month as we bring together experts, thought leaders, and community members to explore the latest climate science, the work being done at Woodwell Climate Research Center, and the steps we can all take toward a sustainable future.
Doors open at 5:00pm, events start at 6:00pm in the Harbourton Auditorium.
Select lectures will be available both in-person and virtually, with recordings available on the Woodwell Climate website at a later date.
