The City of Cambridge was featured in “How We Respond” – a recently launched report by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Center for Public Engagement with Science and Technology that discusses the innovative ways communities are using science to respond to climate change at a local level. The City of Cambridge is highlighted for their efforts to assess climate change risk and develop a citywide climate action plan. Supported by Kleinfelder as the lead consultant for climate change vulnerability and adaptation planning, the City has made significant progress on identifying infrastructure and populations susceptible to the impacts of climate change and developing a citywide Climate Change Preparedness and Resiliency Plan outlining strategies to increase resiliency throughout the City to risks posed by changes in heat, rainfall, sea level rise, and storm surge.

Being able to see and hear how much the families appreciate the meal makes the effort all worthwhile.”
