On May 11th and 12th, 2017 York University will host the 5th Ontario Climate Symposium. This year’s symposium holds special significance, given that it coincides with Canada’s 150th anniversary and follows ratification of the Paris Agreement on climate change. The symposium provides a forum for discussions of the future we want in the next 150 years, and more importantly, of the actions needed to realise this vision.

I'll be speaking at the symposium about designing and implementing sustainable flood protection infrastructure; click the following link to see a preview of my talk: https://youtu.be/LvEf9fZfRD4
