What is Climate Resiliency?
Climate resiliency is the ability for UMBC to prepare for, adapt to changing conditions, withstand, and recover rapidly from disruptions. UMBC recognizes that a changing climate in the mid-Atlantic will have an impact on our campus. The best available scientific modeling projections indicate that as the century progresses Maryland will generally experience a warmer and wetter climate. As the campus continues to grow in the future, there will be opportunities for UMBC to improve its infrastructure and bolster adaptive capacity to the challenges of climate change.What If I'm not really a science person - can I still join?
YES! Climate Action requires collaborative action between all groups of people with a myrid of backgrounds and interests.
What's the time commitment?
We will meet at least once per semester in a hybrid fashion for no more than 1 hour. We will work together to select a time that works for all.
