How Fairfax County Uses Trees to Help Address the Cause and Effects of Climate Change
with Maya Dhavale & Allison Home

The climate shift is projected to continue and cannot be fully reversed (even with emissions reduction), due to global feedback loops of emissions already in the system. While we cannot spot-prevent climate change at the local level, we can build resilience at the local level.

The meeting is free and open to the public.
