ESLC attends Climate Preparedness conference in Baltimore
Seventeen of ESLC’s town, county, and regional partners attended the Local Solutions to Climate Preparedness conference in Baltimore this week. Each of the members of this group, which began meeting regularly in March, received sponsorships to attend as part of a collaboration between ESLC’s Coastal Resilience Program and Antioch University’s Center for Climate Preparedness & Community Resilience. The conference covered tools, strategies, and examples for communities to adapt to the impacts of climate change including sea level rise. The Eastern Shore contingent enjoyed a private dinner where they had an opportunity to talk about our region’s needs and challenges with representatives from NOAA and EPA. Funding support for the sponsorships was generously provided by the Town Creek Foundation.
