ClimateChange and the Future of Boston provides an in-depth look at the challenges Boston faces as the climate changes. It analyses the city’s struggle to mitigate its carbon footprint and to face the growing threat of sea level rise, extreme heat and other climate impacts. As New England’s largest city with a growing population and economy, Boston has taken a proactive approach to climate change but faces potentially severe impacts from climate change.
Courtney Humphries is an interdisciplinary researcher and award-winning journalist writing about science and the urban environment. She is a visiting assistant professor in environmental studies and core fellow at Boston College.
