Adapting to climate
change is now becoming institutionalized in planning and
policy around the globe. In this timely webinar, experts in the field
review
current adaptation policy developments.
Environmental law
professor Teresa
Clemmer and APA-ID member Michael Cote will
briefly recap their visit to the
COP15 Climate Conference in Copenhagen. Clemmer will then cover
important
adaptation developments at the U.S. federal level discussed at the
COP15. These
include requirements that certain agencies review projects for climate
impacts.
Next, APA-ID member
Michael Cote will show that adaptation has now become Big
Business, and argue that planners need to take note of these
advancements.
Adapting to projected climate impacts, for example, is being taken
seriously by
the military, the insurance industry, and even the oil and gas
extraction
industries. And as with most environmental planning, adaptation planning
requires public, political, and private partnership support. Cote will
then
present a practical, flexible adaptation planning model with technical
resources
and thumbnail case studies to help you get started.
Free for members of the American Planning Association International Division, $25 USD for nonmembers. Registration closes on Tuesday, April 6. Register here.
