NEW REPORT SHOWCASES STEPS LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ARE TAKING TO ADAPT TO CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS IN URBAN REGIONS
June 9, 2009 -- CCAP released a new report today highlighting the innovative measures that ten local governments in major metropolitan regions are beginning to implement to adapt to the inevitable impacts of climate change. Developed by CCAP’s Urban Leaders Adaption Initiative, the report, “Ask the Climate Question: Adapting to Climate Change Impacts in Urban Regions,”offers best practices for how cities and counties throughout the country can reduce their communities’ vulnerability to the dangers of a changing climate. Many of the best practices in climate adaptation that are included in the report stem from CCAP encouraging its Urban Leaders partners to Ask the Climate Question: How will planning, policy, funding, infrastructure and land development decisions affect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and local vulnerability or resilience to the impacts of climate change? |
