Seeing Climate: Communicating & Visualizing Change in Public Space
Susan Israel, Climate Creatives Kelly Phelan, Braintree Planning & Community Development October 21, 2021, 4 - 5pm EST Climate data, no matter how urgent a picture it may paint, has limited utility unless communicated in ways that encourage engagement and create space for comprehension, dialogue, and action. Seeing Climate will focus on strategies to communicate climate impacts such as sea level rise and storm-driven flooding through creative media including site-specific installations and public art. We will discuss engaging stakeholders through art-making and design workshops, creating public art, public outreach, and conveying difficult information and topics such as managed retreat. Case studies from Broward County, Florida and Braintree, Massachusetts will be featured. The session format will include a presentation, break out discussions, and a discussion with the presenters. |
Mission
Community Adaptation Learning Exchange (CALE) is an inclusive peer-learning collective focused on advancing climate adaptation efforts at the community level. The CALE network supports and builds the capacity of its members through the thoughtful interrogation of adaptation practice and planning rooted in equity and climate justice.
CALE Sessions
CALE convenes bi-monthly meetings focused on elevating the experience and perspectives of all those working to advance community responses to climate change and learning from successes and failures working to support sustainable, equitable, and resilient communities. The sessions focus on exploring adaptation topics and projects through a set of unifying questions and considerations, asking all invited speakers: to unpack underlying assumptions, to elaborate goals and priorities, to address the role of racial equity and inclusion, and to revisit failures / opportunities for improvement. CALE programming is organized around a yearly thematic focus.
CALE's theme for 2021-2022 is learning how climate communication approaches, methods, and tools enable or advance community adaptation conversations and efforts.
