Join the National Council for Science and the Environment in collaboration with Arizona State University's Julian Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability and SSF on May 23 to hear how this model for local collaboration in Puerto Rico has progressed post-Maria, and inspired a United States national network of higher education leaders focusing on resilience, data-driven decision-making, and local solutions. The webinar will address models for university contribution to resilience in islands and smaller countries at risk from extreme weather events.
This is the first in an SSF webinar series on Sustainable Infrastructure & Resilience hosted by the National Council for Science and the Environment that will extend through 2018. The NCSE series will explain how social structure is highly dependent on infrastructure and sustainable infrastructure investments that can lead to economic vitality, equitable resource allocations, and more resilient societies.
