There is no issue more urgent than climate change, yet government,
corporations, and the public are reluctant to change. This conference
will examine the psychological factors, money and politics, and
infrastructures that impede change as well as the difficult choices
that must be made to foster urban resilience in the face of climate change.
Keynote address: Frances Beinecke, President of the National
Resources Defense Council, at 6pm, April 24.
