Managing the Climate Crisis: Designing and Building for Floods, Heat, Drought and Wildfire

The climate, relatively stable for centuries, is entering a new phase. In 2020, 22 major weather and climate events in the U.S. resulted in 262 deaths, with each causing more than $1 billion in damages. This trend is continuing with heat waves, extended droughts, extended wildfire seasons, and increased coastal and river flooding.

Join the Smart Growth Network at 1:00 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, August 23, as Jonathan Barnett and Matthijs Bouw talk about their new book Managing the Climate Crisis: Designing and Building for Floods, Heat, Drought, and Wildfire. Barnett and Bouw will outline how adaptation and preventive measures can be used to address climate-related threats, including flooding along coastlines and rivers, flash floods from extreme rain events, drought, wildfire, long periods of high heat, and food shortages.

Participants of the live webinar are eligible for 1.5 AICP CM credits and 1 Sustainability and Resilience credit (live attendance required). Register with Island Press.
