DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Henk Ovink & Marina Tabassum\n\nSeptember 13th\, 2022
  l 6:30pm (EDT) * Free online event*\n\nThe IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report
 \, Climate Change 2022: Mitigation of Climate Change\, published in April 
 2022\, warned of a “now or never” moment to limit the mean global temperat
 ure rise that threatens the breakdown of our planet’s climate systems with
  catastrophic consequences for our society.  As nations around the world a
 ttempt to realize their pledge to the Paris Agreement to reduce future car
 bon emissions\, the “committed climate warming” will continue to drive sev
 ere weather events for decades to come. The impacts of these events are al
 ready being felt around the world and these events disproportionately affe
 ct the most vulnerable populations across the globe\, deepening poverty an
 d inequality.\n\nDespite these challenges\, we have the capacity to implem
 ent sustainable solutions in population hotspots most vulnerable to climat
 e driven disasters. Through collaborative efforts\, holistic approaches ro
 oted in the concepts of nature-based design\, engineers\, urban planners\,
  architects and policy makers are meeting the moment\, implementing resili
 ent living solutions\, reinventing water management practices and adapting
  our built environments to minimize damage caused by climate-induced natur
 al disasters. \n\nThe 9th Trottier Symposium on Sustainable Engineering\, 
 Energy and Design will explore success stories of sustainable engineering 
 and design while considering the following questions:\n\n\n	 How can urban 
 planners\, architects and engineers incorporate nature-based solutions to 
 build resiliency and sustainability in our communities?\n	What climate resi
 lient living solutions have been implemented “on the front lines” of clima
 te\n		change and how can these strategies be scaled up more broadly?\n\n\nRe
