In response to the growing threat posed to Rhode Island by climate change, how can urban land support sustainable food availability for diverse communities? As one of the most urban states in the country, how is our state’s land used and by whom? Three panelists will answer these questions and discuss efforts underway to empower communities disproportionately impacted by environmental and public health risks and have limited access to natural places. Advance registration required for the ZOOM event.
