New York City and other metropolis-scale plans for sea level rise and climate events fail to prioritize nature-based solutions, equitable access, and visionary solutions that can change our relationship to the water. New York Harbor is the Sixth Borough, the defining feature and least empowered part of the metropolis. The Sixth Borough is rising, and it lacks representation and advocacy for the human and other animal species that live and work on and near it. We must consider the lost glory, discrimination, and pollution that our waterfront has suffered and how revitalizing it holds the key to a healthier and more equitable approach to the changing climate. Artists and experts in the history, economy, science and culture of the NYC waterfront welcome all to a discussion of why we must turn to water and natural systems, not seawalls and floodgates, for a sustainable future.
