As climate unpredictability swells, institutions are exploring a variety of solutions that invest in long-term climate resiliency. Increased precipitation, along with hotter, drier summers mean higher rates of flooding and heat-related illness in our urban cores. Leading the charge on mitigation and adaptation strategies in the face of climate change are local institutions that have invested in improving campus and community resiliency. Representatives from Boston University, Harvard Business School, and Higher Ground Farm will explain why investing in green roofs is a smart strategy for institutions, and the role green roofs play in advancing climate goals related to stormwater management, climate education, and more. Benefits and challenges of green roof installation will be included in the panel discussion, facilitated by design-build firm Recover Green Roofs.
