Webinar: An Adaptation Blueprint for Communities

by Richard Matthews

Climate Action Planning Creating Low Carbon Resilient Communities, an adaptation blueprint for communities, will take place on August 7, 2019 1:15 to 2:45 PM EDT. This is an Island Press Webinar Series.  Three panelists will talk about new examples of cities approaching the challenge of climate change in creative and innovative ways including transportation, to greening city buildings, to protecting against sea-level rise, to vulnerability assessments that help each community to identify their greatest risks and opportunities.

The panelists are the authors of Climate Action Planning (published by Island Press). This is the most comprehensive book on the state of the art, science, and practice of local climate action planning. It
should be a first stop for any local government interested in addressing climate change. Their guidance contextualizes
international, national, and state mandates and goals.

With climate-related protections and programs under attack at the federal level, it is critical for cities to address climate impacts locally. Every day there are new examples of cities approaching the challenge of climate change in creative and innovative ways from rethinking transportation, to greening city buildings, to protecting against sea-level rise.

In Climate Action Planning, co-authors Adrienne Greve and Tammy Seale discuss new examples of implemented projects to highlight what has worked and the challenges that remain. A completely new chapter on vulnerability assessment will help each community to identify their greatest risks and opportunities.

Sections on land use and transportation have been expanded to reflect their growing contribution to greenhouse gas emissions. The guidance in the book is put in context of international, national, and state mandates and goals. The panelists will also look at process and communication: How does a community bring diverse voices to the table? What do recent examples and research tell us about successful communication strategies?
