Philly was ranked as one of the top cities to be most affected by climate change and this December's El Nino pushed near-record levels for heat, moisture and extreme conditions. The weather that the city is experiencing has many questioning how Philly should adapt to it.
Just before 200 nations gathered in Paris to hammer out a climate change agreement, Philadelphia released its own report in November 2015 on how the city might prepare for the future.
The document details extreme temperatures, rising sea levels and record-setting weather as main concerns.
To discuss the key findings Sarah Wu, Deputy Director for Planning in the Office of Sustainability, and a panel of leading Philadelphia scientists, activists and policy experts will host a lecture at the Schuylkill Center on Thursday, Feb. 4.
All are welcome to attend the free event and join in the climate change conversation.
Thursday, Feb. 4
