Designs and renderings developed by university students for how the communities of New Bedford and Fairhaven could adapt to climate change will be on display in a free exhibition at the New Bedford Art Museum Jan. 26 through March 23. The designs reimagine infrastructure, housing, neighborhoods and shorelines and were developed as part of the 2023 Envision Resilience New Bedford and Fairhaven Challenge.

Howard University and the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth are taking part in the Fall 2023 Envision Resilience New Bedford and Fairhaven Challenge as part of two pilot programs this year, joining teams Rhode Island School of Design, Northeastern University, the University of Florida, the University of Massachusetts Amherst and the University of Virginia in the 2023 cohort.

Six university partners—including two from the University of Massachusetts system—have been selected for the third iteration of the Envision Resilience Challenge taking place in New Bedford and Fairhaven, Massachusetts, this fall as students develop innovative solutions for coastal communities to adapt to sea level rise.

The Envision Resilience Challenge, a semester-long design studio connecting interdisciplinary university teams with coastal communities to inspire adaptive and creative solutions to the challenges of sea level rise and climate change, will take place in New Bedford and Fairhaven, Massachusetts in the fall of 2023.

The six university teams that participated in the 2022 Envision Resilience Narragansett Bay Challenge to design creative solutions to sea level rise have won the Rhode Island Chapter of the American Planning Association (APA-RI)'s annual student award, ReMain Nantucket announced today.

PROVIDENCE, R.I.---The Envision Resilience: Designs for Living with Rising Seas exhibition opens with a free community open house on Saturday, June 4 at the WaterFire Arts Center in Providence, Rhode Island. The exhibition, which runs from June 4 through June 26, will feature adaptive designs by participating university teams in the 2022 Envision Resilience Narragansett Bay Challenge.

Two-thirds of Nantucket residents say they are more engaged on issues of climate change and coastal resilience than they were in 2021, according to a survey report released today by ReMain Nantucket’s Envision Resilience Nantucket Challenge team. The second in a two-part survey to measure community attitudes about climate change was conducted in January and February 2022.

Last year, ReMain Nantucket's Envision Resilience Nantucket Challenge survey found that 73% of Nantucketers are alarmed about climate change, a rate much higher than the national average of 33%. As part of the continued effort to expand and measure attitudes about climate change and sea level rise, they opened the second in their two-part survey this week.

The Envision Resilience Challenge, developed by ReMain Nantucket to encourage university students to develop adaptive and creative solutions to sea level rise, announced this week it will expand to its second coastal community—Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island.

As part of the Envision Resilience Nantucket Challenge, a pop-up art installation will be unveiled on Friday, Oct. 8 at 6:30 p.m, ReMain Nantucket announced today. Through projection-mapping art, “Rising Above” will tell the history and envision the future of the island’s resilience. The installation will be projected across the water onto the backside of 4 Old North Wharf, the scallop shanty of fifth-generation Nantucketer Ginger Andrews.

The Envision Resilience Nantucket Challenge exhibition, which showcases student design proposals for how Nantucket residents and businesses can live with sea level rise, will open on July 2, ReMain Nantucket announced today. The Envision Resilience: Designs for Living with Rising Seas exhibition will be displayed on the second floor of the Nantucket Historical Association's Thomas Macy Warehouse at 12 Straight Wharf. The free exhibition will be open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. through December 2021.

Nantucketers are alarmed about climate change, according to results of a new survey conducted by ReMain Nantucket and ACKlimate and released today. An analysis of the survey, conducted in January, found that Nantucketers are far more likely to be alarmed about climate change than the national average, 73 percent compared to 26 percent.

ReMain Nantucket issued a survey today to measure attitudes about climate change from Nantucket residents and visitors as part of the Envision Resilience Nantucket Challenge, in which graduate students will design and propose adaptive solutions to sea level rise this spring.

ReMain Nantucket announced today the five universities that will participate in the Envision Resilience Nantucket Challenge to address sea level rise: University of Florida College of Design, Construction and Planning, Harvard University Graduate School of Design, University of Miami School of Architecture, The School of Architecture at Northeastern University and Yale School of Architecture.

ReMain Nantucket announced this week the inception of Envision Resilience Nantucket Challenge, a coastal-resilience initiative that will leverage academia and local leadership to develop and consider innovative and adaptive solutions to sea-level rise.
