Join us for an exciting evening at the Museum of Science as we dive into their new speaker series on the role of Indigenous communities in climate resilience.
As coastal cities like Boston face increasing climate challenges, what can we learn from Indigenous communities that have been on the frontlines of climate change for generations? How can Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) help us adapt and build resilience in the face of rising sea levels, flooding, and drought?
The featured speakers, Joseph Lee and Jason Steiding, will share their vital work in combating water-related issues and protecting natural resources.
