Building Climate Resilience

#climateresilience

The end of 2019 concluded the warmest decade the world has ever experienced. The record-breaking temperatures in the first few months of 2020 have positioned this year to become the warmest in history. Rising temperatures have already brought more extremes in flooding, temperatures, wildfire, drought, as well as rising seas, and greater extremes are in our foreseeable future. Alice Hill will share her experiences advising President Obama and the Secretary of Homeland Security on building resilience to climate change impacts that communities are already experiencing, as well as the worsening impacts they will face in the future.
