Resilient Nantucket: Designed for Adaptation Forum
From April 22 (Earth Day) through April 24, 2021 the Town of Nantucket and partners hosted a public forum showcasing resilience planning and cultural resource protection efforts in Europe and the United States as best practices for adapting historic communities to the impacts of our world’s changing climate.
This forum was joined by residents, visitors to Nantucket and others working on resilience planning at the national level for historic and natural resources impacted by flooding disasters, extreme storms and coastal erosion.
