Summary

1. Before the game, had you thought about the public health impacts of climate change? Has your thinking changed? How?

2. Given the discussion during the game, which climate-related health impacts are you most worried about affecting you, your family, or your community? Why?

3. Most people haven't been thinking about climate change in terms of the increased risks to human health that flooding and heat waves might cause. Do you think talking about the city's vulnerability to climate change in terms of public health risks is a good idea? Why?

4. In the game, we were all talking about which strategies would be the best for the city of Mapleton to choose and why. Which of the five strategies do you think Cambridge should prioritize? Why?

5. It will not be easy to reduce the city's vulnerability to climate risks or enhance the city's resilience. There are things that might best be handled by the public sector (government) and other risk management efforts that should be the responsibility of citizens and property owners. What, in your view, are the government's responsibilities for trying to reduce the risks of climate change and what are the responsibilities of citizens and private property owners? Why?
