Climate Change: What does it mean for Albemarle County?

August 23, 2022 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Free

Wondering what we can expect for climate impacts in Albemarle County? Join the Cville100 Climate Coalition for a virtual presentation on August 23 to find out.

In 2020, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors crafted and adopted the first phase of its Climate Action Plan. Now, Albemarle County has partnered with The Piedmont Environmental Council, Resilient Virginia, climate modeling engineering firm Sobis, and Richmond-based marketing firm Green Fin Studio to analyze the risks and vulnerabilities of climate changes within Albemarle County. The study examines extreme heat, drought, flooding, fire, disease and pestilence, and the intersections of all of these hazards. It also views their impacts through the lens of people, the natural environment, our built environment and the economy.

On Tuesday, August 23 from 6:30 to 8 p.m., the Cville100 Climate Coalition with The Piedmont Environmental Council, Green Fin Studio and Resilient Virginia will be providing an overview of the potential impacts that climate change could have in Albemarle County. This is your chance to dig deep and arm yourself with the information we all need to plan for the future!

Speakers include:
-Kat Imhoff, Senior Conservation Planner, The Piedmont Environmental Council
-Paula Jasinski, Principal, Green Fin Studios
-Annette Osso, President, Resilient Virginia
