X-WR-CALDESC:Climate change is a fact of modern life: flooding\, high seas\
 , droughts\, less snow\, more heat. Bridgeport has currently experienced 6
  inches of sea level rise since 1965\, which is higher than current global
  rates.  61% of Connecticut’s 3.6 million residents live in coastal commun
 ities prone to flooding.  It is estimated that an additional 30% of Connec
 ticut’s population work in coastal areas.  Experts claim that it is climat
 e change alone that poses the greatest present and future threat to public
  health. \n\nAs global warming alters our living and working environment\,
  no region will remain unaffected\, but as the CT Mirror reports\, low-inc
 ome neighborhoods\, people who are homeless\, residents with chronic healt
 h conditions\, and people who are uninsured are more likely to experience 
 dire health consequences before any other population. \n\nThis Roundtable 
 will explore what the legal community can do in cooperation with lay activ
 ists to avoid and alleviate suffering while building better community resi
 liencies for us all.  We will discuss the current practical (legal/social)
  framework to address the below issues\, and what possible legal changes o
 r modifications/clarifications are needed to effectively and efficiently a
 ddress them.\n\nThe program will focus on a number of topics\, including:
 \nânâ	Legal strategies involving planning\, zoning and land use\; \n•	Legislat
 ive and policymaking steps already taken\, as well as those on the horizon
 \;\n•	Community action in combination with legal strategies\;\n•	Finding a n
 exus between evolving science and on-going grass roots action\; and\n•	Temp

 e.\n\nPlease join us for this Zoom Roundtable as we explore these timely i
