CLIMATE AND RESILIENCY: LOCAL INSIGHTS FOR A GLOBAL CHALLENGE
• What are current environmental conditions?
• What are environmental projections?
• Where are the social, economic, environmental and infrastructure vulnerabilities?
• What are the options – short-term, medium-term and long-term?
• How do we effectively weigh those options?
• What resources are available and how should they be allocated?
• Who decides?
• Changes will affect communities – very personal and emotional decision-making process
In communities across the country, we have large, sticky conversations ahead of us:

CLIMATE AND RESILIENCY: LOCAL INSIGHTS FOR A GLOBAL CHALLENGE
Unlike infrastructure and planning efforts that we have seen in the past, this is not a singular policy decision. It must involve everyone – at the national, state and local level; but, most importantly citizens must get on board with:
• Understanding climate change basic facts/science
• Understanding local implications of climate change (flooding, sea level rise, increased temperatures, etc)
• Problem-solving efforts
• Empower communities with knowledge and decision-making tools
