Description
The Cambridge Compact for a Sustainable Future and Compact member Novartis invite you to a screening of Tidewater. Tidewater explores the challenge of sea level rise in the Tidewater region of Virginia and North Carolina, encompassing Hampton Roads, arguably the region whose vulnerability most affects our overall national security. Tidewater highlights the innovative whole-of-government problem-solving model being attempted by local leaders - a model that can demonstrate how people, businesses and government can pull together to solve any complex problem. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion featuring:
- Roger Sorkin, Director and Producer
- James Goudreau, Head of Climate, Novartis
- Stephen Flynn, Founding Director, Global Resilience Institute at Northeastern University
- David Cash, Dean of the McCormack Graduate School, UMASS Boston
- Dr. Atyia Martin, Former Chief Resilience Officer, Boston
