Date: Wednesday | August 27

Time: 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Location: 401-A Conference Room, Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library, 901 G St NW, Washington, DC 20001

Duration: 1 hour

Format: Panel Discussion followed by Q&A

As the effects of climate change intensify worldwide - from rising sea levels to extreme heat - D.C. faces its own set of challenges, including urban heat islands, flooding from the Anacostia and Potomac Rivers, and worsening air quality. Our expert panel will connect these global trends to local realities, exploring how climate impacts disproportionately affect underserved neighborhoods in the nation’s capital. The conversation will highlight how policy, urban planning, and community-led initiatives can strengthen resilience. The panel will be followed by an interactive Q&A session, offering attendees the opportunity to engage directly with climate experts, policymakers, and community advocates.
