The Nature Conservancy: Climate and Coastal Adaptation

Join the Water LC in welcoming Humna Sharif, Climate Resilience and Adaptation Director at The Nature Conservancy (Maryland/DC Chapter) and YSE alum, in-person at YSE! Humna leads climate adaptation strategy for The Nature Conservancy’s Maryland/DC chapter, advancing nature-based solutions that help communities prepare for flooding, sea-level rise, and other climate impacts. Her work focuses on building consensus around climate adaptation priorities and developing policies that leverage nature to increase resilience while advancing environmental justice. In this session, you will have the opportunity to hear about Humna's experience at TNC, ask about career opportunities, and learn about coastal adaptation and flood risk mitigation work! Networking breakfast session with Humna and Drew Goldsman, Urban Conservation Director at The Nature Conservancy in Connecticut, to follow the next day.
