SESSION
Analytics for Local Scale Climate Resilience Planning and Implementation
In this session, we present a localized, equity-based, approach to climate resilience based on analytical community planning. The analytics-based approach guides resiliency efforts from exploratory risk investigation through strategy development and ultimately through implementation. This novel approach pairs adaptative capacity assessment with a scenario analysis of climate projection data to deliver a quantified understanding of risk and the associated adaptation costs.
This session will demonstrate how a new approach can assist officials to develop resiliency measures that move beyond broad climate plans and towards localized, equitable, actions that improve the current conditions of communities and prepare neighborhoods for future climate conditions.
