Sustainable Living Forum: Rising Sea Levels, Global Warming, and Its Effects on our Coastal towns

Chair of United Nations Association Climate and Oceans, Gonzalo Alvarez, will explore the issues of rising sea levels and its effects on our coastal towns from the perspective of climate change, and then suggest areas of resilience and adaptation.

According to the Rye Neighbourhood Plan ‘Sequential and Exception Flood Risk Tests’ report in 2018, there were up to 1,000 dwellings and businesses in Rye’s Flood Zones 2 and 3. Coupled with the reality of global climate change, this puts much of our community at risk for flooding.

Please join us as we discuss this important topic.

Gonzalo J. Alvarez, PDTh, BSc, BA Hons is a marine biologist and oceanographer, and has been part of scientific research teams on climate and 0ceans around the world since the early 1990s as well as a frequent speaker and panellist globally on behalf of the UNA.

Hosted by Rye Community Garden and sponsored by the Sussex Community Foundation.

Refreshments will be available.

Everyone Welcome!
