Cities are experimenting with ways of reintroducing nature to be resilient to the rising tides, floods, and extreme weather events caused by climate change—from restoring wetlands to constructing oyster reefs, and expanding the floodplains of creeks, streams, and rivers. We brought together experts in science, community organizing, and design in a discussion about nature-based adaptation solutions, featuring From the Ground Up author Alison Sant.
