“Inundation District” Film Screening & Panel Discussion – What Happens When a Vulnerable City Builds by the Sea?
May 15 @ 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Co-hosted by the Environmental Business Council of New England and the Climate Adaptation Forum
“In a time of rising seas and intensifying storms, one of the world’s wealthiest, most-educated cities made a fateful decision to spend billions of dollars erecting a new district along its coast — on landfill, at sea level.”
Join colleagues for a screening of the documentary film Inundation District right in the heart of the topic at hand: Boston’s Seaport. Released in 2023, the film interrogates the establishment and rapid development of the Seaport, or ‘Innovation’ district, during a time of accelerating impacts from climate change. A moderated panel discussion, including the film’s Director and Boston Globe climate change reporter David Abel alongside experts in the fields of resilience and climate adaption, will immediately follow the film screening.
