Speaker Series on Climate Change and Community Safety: Adapting Communities to Climate Change and the Role of Community Safety
JUNE 16, 2022
10:00 AM PT / 11:00 AM MT / 12:00 PM CT / 1:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM AT
HOW DO WE INTEGRATE CLIMATE ADAPTATION PLANNING WITH COMMUNITY SAFETY PLANNING LOCALLY?
Cities and their inhabitants are highly vulnerable to safety risks associated with climate change due to their high population density along with their large volume of government services and economic and social infrastructure.
Additionally, many smaller, northern, and rural communities will struggle with climate change-related community safety challenges as they disproportionately experience its effects.
Unfortunately, most local adaptation efforts have tended to overlooked the need for approaches to prevent and address community safety challenges related to climate change.
