You might have a departure day circled red in the diary and be furiously working through a to-do list to get there. Or maybe you’re considering a bluewater sailing adventure in future, and starting to think through the preparations you need to make. You might even have postponed your big trip, and be considering how to make the most of an extra sailing season at home.

The impending climate crisis is real. Maine is especially vulnerable. The waters in the Gulf of Maine are warming faster than pretty much anywhere else on earth. Many of our coastal communities are vulnerable to flooding from rising sea levels. Our forests will suffer. Maine’s Office of Policy Innovation and Future (OPIF) has recently released a detailed Four Year Plan for Climate Action. As we begin the New Year and look to the future, “Maine Challenge” will explore with Hannah Pingree, the head of OPIF, the urgent call to action embodied in this plan which has far-reaching implications for all of us in Maine, rich and poor, old and young, alike.
