Through collaborative efforts\, holistic approaches ro oted in the concepts of nature-based design\, engineers\, urban planners\, architects and policy makers are meeting the moment\, implementing resili ent living solutions\, reinventing water management practices and adapting our built environments to minimize damage caused by climate-induced natur al disasters. \n\nThe 9th Trottier Symposium on Sustainable Engineering\, Energy and Design will explore success stories of sustainable engineering and design while considering the following questions:\n\n\n  How can urban planners\, architects and engineers incorporate nature-based solutions to build resiliency and sustainability in our communities?\n What climate resi lient living solutions have been implemented “on the front lines” of clima te\n change and how can these strategies be scaled up more broadly?\n\n\nRe gister now:  https://mcgill.ca/x/3oK\n\n \n DTSTART:20220913T223000Z DTEND:20220914T003000Z SUMMARY:2022 Trottier Symposium: Confronting Climate Change with Design for Resilience URL:/tised/channels/event/2022-trottier-symposium-conf ronting-climate-change-design-resilience-340484 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
