Prevent or limit groundwater extraction from shallow aquifers, Create water markets transferring land and water from agricultural to community use, Establish or broaden "use containment areas" to allocate and cap water withdrawal, Allow coastal wetlands to migrate inland (e.g., through setbacks, density restrictions, land purchases, Promote wetland accretion by introducing sediment, Remove hard protection or other barriers to tidal and riverine flow (e.g., riverine and tidal dike removals), Incorporate wetland protection into infrastructure planning (e.g., transportation planning, sewer utilities), Preserve and restore the structural complexity and biodiversity of vegetation in tidal marshes, seagrass meadows, and mangroves, Identify and protect ecologically significant ("critical") areas such as nursery grounds, spawning grounds, and areas of high species diversity, Trap or add sand through beach nourishment the addition of sand to a shoreline to enhance or create a beach area, Trap sand through construction of groins a barrier type structure that traps sand by interrupting longshore transport, Create a regional sediment management (RSM) plan, Develop adaptive stormwater management practices (e.g., promoting natural buffers, adequate culvert sizing). I. Clearly, these exercises would yield abstractions: sketches or diagrams, that stand in for more nuanced work. Look for opportunities to develop a regional or watershed-scale plan for stormwater management. The aim is to provide a snapshot of some of the Community Resilience, Globalization, and Transitional Pathways of Decision-Making. The TEC focuses on identifying policies that can accelerate the development and transfer of low-emission and climate resilient technologies. Supercomputing. In. Hallegatte, S. Strategies to Adapt to an Uncertain Climate Change. Comparing ideas and terminology of importance across diverse fields and phenomena involving various sociocultural dynamics is complex for a variety of reasons [, Modern perspectives focusing on Sustainable Development (SD) emerged in the late 20th century largely to address the obvious tensions between intensifying resource management practices and future prosperity [, The failure of society to curb GHG emissions through climate. Since climate change talks in Cancun, discussions on the need to focus on adapting to climate change have been prevalent. Forester, J. Hotter global temperatures will lead to the spread of more infectious diseases such as malaria, dengue, tick-borne encephalitis, and Lyme disease, according to the United Nations Framework Climate Change Convention (UNFCCC). Appraising adaptive management. ; Sarin, R.K. CityAdapt. . ; Cavan, G.; Connelly, A.; Guy, S.; Handley, J.; Kazmierczak, A. Castn Broto, V. Urban Governance and the Politics of Climate Change. Consider offering incentives for green infrastructure to manage stormwater. Bierbaum, R.; Smith, J.B.; Lee, A.; Blair, M.; Carter, L.; Chapin, F.S. Just this week, a Berlin startup, Dryad Networks, launched a solar-powered sensor network for wildfire detection. According to the experts, adapting to climate change will necessitate the same sort of multilateralism demonstrated during the global response to COVID-19, shaped by local priorities but accelerated by an unprecedented spirit of global cooperation. Does Public Policy Support or Undermine Climate Change Adaptation? A Review and Classification of Analytical Methods for Climate Change Adaptation: Analytical Methods for Climate Change Adaptation. ACE, 2015) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) helps with preparedness planning for extreme events (FEMA, 2015). Together, we can be unstoppable. The steps we and our stakeholders take in adapting to climate change can reduce its impacts while also creating new opportunities for mitigation, sustainable production and conservation. Jianguo, W. Urban Ecology and Sustainability: The State-of-the-Science and Future Directions: Actionable Urban Ecology in China and the World: Integrating Ecology and Planning for Sustainable Cities. Higher temperatures will also lead to increases of food-born diseases like Salmonella in more developed regions. Relying on foreign technologies is not less relevant than domestic innovation. Based on the technology assessment, adaptation technologies are prioritized to indicate which s should be technologie Mafalda Duarte, a Portuguese national, joins the Green Climate Fund from the Washington-based Climate Investment Funds (CIF), where she served as CEO since 2014. Land Use, Environmental Change, and Sustainable Development. Oppenheimer, M.; ONeill, B.C. Studying Urban Climate Governance: Where to Begin, What to Look for, and How to Make a Meaningful Contribution to Scholarship and Practice. ; Webster, M. Negative Learning. Einecker, R.; Kirby, A. If countries pledge funds to the Green Climate Fund, which is part of the Cancun Agreement, these technologies could be created and used by some of the most vulnerable nations. To better grasp the current state of innovation and future needs, we analyzed patent data recently made available. Can technology help us adapt to climate change? These could include ways of building up coral reefs, creating natural coastal buffers or sophisticated warning systems that warn about wildfires or other extreme conditions far earlier, allowing a coordinated response to mobilize more quickly. In fact, early warning systems are among the most cost-effective adaptation tools to mitigate deaths and injuries from climate disasters around the world, according to the Technology Executive . Such technologies can make a critical, even life-saving difference in terms of providing adequate early warning for affected areas. ; Tompkins, E.L. Those could include building homes on stilts, to crafting barriers around rivers in populated regions, and using seeds and crops that are more resistant to floods. Since climate change talks in Cancun, discussions on the need to focus on adapting to climate change have been prevalent. Berkes, F. Indigenous Ways of Knowing and the Study of Environmental Change.

Top-down and Bottom-up Approaches to Implementation Research: A Critical Analysis and Suggested Synthesis. All Parties to the Paris Agreement committed to strengthening the global response to climate change by increasing the ability of all to adapt and build resilience, and reduce vulnerability. ; Collins, K.A. The software provides a tree-level view, using Lidar and other imaging technologies. ; Midgley, G.F.; Preston, B.L. Consider incentives such as fast-track permitting for projects that adhere to a more strict set of requirements (e.g., projects that manage 80% of runoff onsite or incorporate a green roof). Engage in existing peer-to-peer networks These networks connect communities at varying stages of implementation and include the GLAA-C, Urban Sustainability Directors Network (USDN), American Society of Adaptation Professionals (ASAP), and the Great Lakes Saint Lawrence Cities Initiative. Uncertainty is a critically important epistemic situation that is inherent to planning because these affairs of future states are influenced by numerous processes that engender and shape events, eventualities, and exigencies [, As planning is intended to inform decision-making, it must ultimately confront uncertainty in that context, influencing the selection of options for coping with or managing it in acceptable ways [, The sheer scale and scope of potential impacts that CCA seeks to address entail significant uncertainty about how and when they will play out, thus shaping the menu of options for responding to them [, The practice of planning is the professionalized implementation of planning efforts, processes shaped by and based on the application of planning theories [, Defining what, exactly, constitutes the public goodmuch less deciding how to go about achieving, maintaining, or enhancing itis well-recognized as complex, contentious, and dynamic, involving many diverse stakeholders across multiple levels of society [, Planning is understood on basic terms to be a collaborative process that must address what Myers and Kitsuse [, A plan involves articulating and orienting towards a, Plan-making may be challenged as a function of numerous horizontal (sector and actor-related) and vertical (multi-level governance-related) connections and the legal, regulatory, and institutional standards at play [, The considerations and theories outlined in the last section illustrate features of planning that are useful in apprehending the fast-emerging practices (and problems) involved in Climate Change Adaptation Planning (CCAP). Extreme weather conditions, from floods to hurricanes, will become more common in certain regions because of the warming of the Earth. Are There Social Limits to Adaptation to Climate Change? Beyond doing everything we can to cut emissions and slow the pace of global warming, we must adapt to climate consequences so we can protect ourselves and our communities. Another example is San Francisco-based Pano AI, which last week pulled in $20 million in Series A funding led by Initialized Capital, an early-stage VC firm with more than 200 active companies in its portfolio. ; Janssen, M.A. Rose, A. This is already happening in some island countries facing rising seas. Policy Paradigms, Social Learning, and the State: The Case of Economic Policymaking in Britain.

Flood Frequency Analysis and Climate. Seek partnerships that can contribute to the field of knowledge. ; Holling, C.S. As you might imagine, the need for a more intentional focus on adaptation also factored significantly in Climate Week remarks by representatives from the International Rescue Committee, the European Investment Bank, the World Trade Organization and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). This reforestation startup is buying its suppliers. Technology can fight climate change. So far, Panos technology is being used in "dozens" of locations in five U.S. states with active wildfire seasons (California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana and Oregon), as well as in New South Wales and Queensland in Australia. China, Germany, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and the United States together account for nearly two-thirds of all high-value inventions (inventions seeking patents in more than one country) filed globally between 2010 and 2015. Allen, K.M. Bisaro, A.; Roggero, M.; Villamayor-Tomas, S. Analysis: Institutional Analysis in Climate Change Adaptation Research: A Systematic Literature Review. In the Maldives, declining rainfall and hotter summers have required constructing larger rainwater tanks and desalination facilities to process sea water, while setting up systems to carefully track water use and trigger early warnings of dry periods. A consistent theme of this research seems to be that what people believe is, One of the appeals of institutions that are not only adaptive but well-integrated into CCAP is that their influence and capacity to structurepolitical decision-making[and] shape practices and behaviors is understood as being vital for the success of large-scale, strategic efforts necessary in complex urban settings [, We have examined the relationships between these concepts and their underlying theories to situate planning in a critical light, insofar as we question its agency and the scope of its traditionally-conceived responsibilities. Kauffman, N.; Hill, K. Climate Change, Adaptation Planning and Institutional Integration: A Literature Review and Framework. Barrett, S. Local Level Climate Justice? The UN's flagship climate fund has appointed one of the few women leaders in the multilateral climate finance space as its next executive director. ; Nelson, D.R. : Robust Climate Strategies. Urwin, K.; Jordan, A. Whereas the notion of barriers (and obstacles) naturally conjures ideas about surmounting them, Institutional analyses focused on resources (components or products of the environment) and how the notion of property (which entails ownership, often of the landscape itself) factors into their management, is a well-established field of institutional interest, and planning has been articulated as a mode of bundling the rights of ownership associated with property in this sense [, In theorizing about the evolutionary nature of governance, Van Assche [, While approaches to determining how institutions resist change (in inertial, oppositional, and isomorphic ways) are evident, factors that instigate change within and across institutions are complex to identify, perhaps owing to requisite concatenations of underlying mechanisms [, A critical question for CCAP and its role in building adaptive capacity seems to concern the scope of its, As explored and illustrated in this review, planning and institutional domains are being challenged or are changing because of the emergence, intensity, and importance of climate change within policy and governance spheres. Similarly, understanding how applied climate change adaptation efforts unfold through planning processes that are embedded in broader institutional settings can be difficult to apprehend. Innovations in drug delivering, drugs themselves, and prevention will be needed. ; Berdej, S.; Dyck, T.; Kreitmair, U.; Rathwell, K.J. Hagedorn, K.
