Eight years have passed since Hurricane Sandy, and although NYC has invested in multiple planning efforts and policy changes, there is still a lot to do. Through a panel discussion with community leaders, ecologists, engineers and designers, this event will explore what it would look like if we focused on inviting nature back into the urban fabric as a method of adapting to climate change.

Panelists:

Judah Asimov, Rockaway Initiative for Sustainability and Equity

Georganna Deas, Coney Island Beautification Project 

Jane Madwick, Wetlands International 

Henk Nieboer, Ecoshape 

Kate Orff, SCAPE; Center for Resilient Cities and Landscapes, Columbia University

Moderator: Sarah Charlop- Powers, Natural Areas Conservency
