ABOUT THE ONECAPE SUMMIT

The seventh annual OneCape Summit was held virtually on August 23-24, 2021.

The OneCape Summit is a regional forum for collaboration, innovation, and excellence across major policy issues and areas. From work to advance regional water quality to tackling issues of coastal resiliency and infrastructure planning, we convene together as one Cape to address the most critical issues related to Cape Cod’s unique environment and economy.

In 2021, OneCape  focused on the critical challenges of water quality, climate change, and housing. Over the course of two days, sessions covered strategies to address marine and freshwater quality, work to mitigate and adapt to climate-related impacts in the region, local and regional strategies to support housing needs, and building resilience within our natural, built, and community systems in a post-COVID economy.
