Open City feat. Portland’s One Climate Future Initiative

Climate change is causing more rainfall, less snow, increasing temperatures, and sea level rise in #PortlandME and #SouthPortlandME. What are your top concerns and priorities? Share them to make sure they are addressed at Open City Night, Wednesday, July 31st, 6:00 – 8:00 pm. A volunteer from Portland will there to present #OneClimateFuture and get your feedback.

Our businesses, neighborhoods, and way of life are worth protecting. Knowing our future will be impacted by climate change, we have a responsibility to work together to see that our communities continue to be places of opportunity. The Cities of Portland and South Portland are taking the lead on this by developing a joint climate action and adaptation plan—One Climate Future: Charting a Course for Portland and South Portland. The goal of this planning process is to make our communities even stronger tomorrow than we are today. But we can’t do this alone. We all need to work together to make it a success.

 

Open City is a series hosted in Congress Square Park every Wednesday at 6-8pm from June through August. We’ll explore topics related to community life presented in artful ways that spark dialogue.
