In Annapolis (MD) earlier this spring, more than 170 mayors, county commissions, environmentalists, business leaders and Maryland state officials came together for an interactive summit about community-level responses to climate risks such as sea-level rise and storm surge that threaten the state’s coast. You can watch a video introduction to the project here.
The event was part of a new program (called Coast-Smart) that uses role play to help coastal decision makers simulate the type of negotiation necessary for reaching consensus on difficult coastal issues. Game materials are available on their site.
