Peril and Promise: The Challenge of Climate Change is a national reporting initiative of the WNET Group. This special WLIW-FM half-hour program focuses on the unique challenges and choices confronting eastern Long Island. The program is hosted by veteran journalist and Planet Forward creator, Frank Sesno. Together with a panel of experts and local officials, he explores the effects climate change is already having on eastern Long Island, what communities are doing about it now, the challenges ahead, and what citizens can do to engage and take action.
The qualities that make eastern Long Island a distinctive and beautiful place make the stakes of climate change especially high. The consequences are already being felt: sea level rise and coastal erosion, warming waters and endangered marine life, more frequent downpours and flooding, pine beetles that flourish in warmer temperatures and are now common here.
Panelists include local officials who are experts on the issues and have deep roots in this region: Suffolk County Legislator Al Krupski, East Hampton Town Supervisor Peter Van Scoyoc, and Alison Branco, Director of Coastal Programs for The Nature Conservancy in New York.
Peril and Promise premieres Tuesday, June 29th at 7pm right here, at wliw.org/radio, and at 88.3 on the FM dial for eastern Long Island, southern Connecticut and coastal New England.
