Climate Cafe- Resilient NE Part 2: What's the Plan for Environmental Change

Come to the second part of ACA's Climate Cafe series on Resilient NE. In September we did what the problem, now we do what's the solution?
About this Event

The climate is changing and we have to be prepared so we can minimise the impact. In February we looked at what the climate and coasts of the NE of Scotland will be like, which highlighted the likelyhood of extreme weather and coastal issues. You can find out more here September Climate Cafe- Resilient NE part 1- what is the climate and coast of Aberdeen going to be like? - Aberdeen Climate Action.

In February we are going to learn more about what is being planned to prepare for change. We will have three talks as follows

Fiona Mann (Head of Emergency Planning, Reslience Civic Lead) and Barry Skinner (Emergency Planning, Resilience and Civic Officer) will tell us what Aberdeen City Council is planning.

Dr Roger Owen ( former Head of Ecology, SEPA and Chair of local Scottish Wildlife Trust) will give a talk titled "Addressing climate change and flood management through river restoration in the NE"

Dr Steve McFarland (Lead Specialist on Coastal Flooding at SEPA) will talk about beaches and coastlines of NE Scotland.

After three 15 minute talks, there will be 40 minutes of questions and answers.

The even it free and hydrid (at NESCol or online via Zoom).
