Whole Community Approaches: Adaptation to Climate Variability and Extreme Events

Mon. 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., Centennial F

This session offers insights from a two-year project, funded by the Kresge Foundation, which focused on the adaptation actions taken by communities facing a variety of climate-related hazards, including wildfires and extreme flooding.
