Learn about Effects of Climate Change and How to Adapt at Brick Library

BRICK – In honor of Earth Day, Meghan Leavey from the NJ Department of Environmental Protection will present “Climate Resilience” at the Brick Branch of the Ocean County Library at 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 22.

Across New Jersey, climate change effects like sea-level rise, more frequent and severe flooding, and higher temperatures are affecting our communities, ecosystems, and infrastructure.

Leavey will discuss how climate change is being felt in the Garden State, how New Jersey state agencies are working to address these impacts, and how local-level action is one of the most important pathways we have for adapting to climate change.

Meghan Leavey is the Lead Planner at the NJ Department of Environmental Protection’s Bureau of Climate Resilience Planning (BCRP). BCRP provides planning and technical support to New Jersey’s communities to help them make informed decisions about climate resilience. BCRP is responsible for coordinating with DEP policies, programs, and activities to plan for the impacts and the associated hazards of climate change and promote public awareness of climate change science.
