GCC to join NJ Climate Change Resource Center for webinar on Managed Retreat Toolkit
Communities across
the U.S. are facing urgent challenges from sea-level rise and climate
change impacts, including more frequent and intense flooding and extreme
weather events. Communities and states are increasingly considering managed
retreat – the voluntary movement of communities and transition of
ecosystems away from vulnerable coastal areas – as a strategy for
protecting people, infrastructure, buildings, and coastal ecosystems from
the impacts of climate change.
Webinar: Addressing Managed Retreat
Hosted by the NJ Climate Change Resource
Center at Rutgers University
On Tuesday, August
18 at 12 PM ET, the NJ Climate
Change Resource Center at Rutgers University will host a webinar on
Addressing Managed Retreat that explores GCC's recently released Managed
Retreat Toolkit – the first comprehensive, online resource on managed
retreat that includes legal and policy tools, best and emerging practices,
and case studies from across the country. Toolkit lead author and GCC
Senior Associate Katie Spidalieri will discuss the toolkit's contents and
how it can be used by local and state policymakers to address questions
around managed retreat as a strategy for climate adaptation. The webinar is
free and open to the public.
