Urban Waters Work Group Webinar and Discussion
Addressing Urban Water Issues through Climate Resilience
Wednesday, April 8, 2020, 2:00 – 3:00 pm
CBFN’s new Urban Waters Work Group is a reframed and refocused version of the prior CBFN Stormwater Work Group. Based on funder feedback, the new Urban Waters Work Group will learn about and explore opportunities to collaborate on urban water issues affecting communities in the Chesapeake Bay, prioritizing:
Climate resilience and adaptation, especially in response to flooding,
Water Equity (just and fair access to safe, clean affordable water-related services), and
Stormwater and green infrastructure.
This first Urban Waters Work Group webinar will be more of a discussion on what climate resilience and adaptation means in the context of the Chesapeake Bay region and the role that funders can play. Jason Donofrio with the Ocean Foundation and CBFN Urban Water Work Group Chair will do a brief presentation on Addressing Urban Water Issues through Climate Resilience and then there will be time for funder conversation to explore funder activity and possible next steps.
