Sustainability Movie Series: Inundation District

Grab a snack as you learn about climate change, sustainability, and everything in between through the Sustainability Movie Series here on campus held by the Office of Campus Sustainability. We will also be joined by the Director, David Abel, for a group discussion and Q&A at the end of the screening. STAY AFTER FOR THE GROUP DISCUSSION FOR CREDIT! Movie Synopsis: In a time of rising seas and intensifying storms, one of the worlds wealthiest, most-educated cities made a fateful decision to spend billions of dollars erecting a new district along its coast on landfill, at sea level. Unlike other places imperiled by climate change, this neighborhood of glass towers housing some of the worlds largest companies was built well after scientists began warning of the threats, including many at its renowned universities. The city, which already has more high-tide flooding than nearly any other in the United States, called its new quarter the Innovation District. But with seas rising inexorably, and at an accelerating rate, others are calling the neighborhood by a different name: Inundation District.
