Event Description:
Warner Chabot will discuss the San Francisco Bay Shoreline Adaptation Atlas - a landmark report that offers a national model for regional collaboration and working with nature to provide science-based, climate adaptation options for our shoreline communities.
About the Atlas
- Proposes a science-based, and locally specific framework to respond to sea level rise vulnerabilities by working with nature.
- Offers a suite of nature-based and policy options to fend off climate impacts, including shoreline flooding, with solutions that are often more effective, less expensive to maintain, and provide greater benefits that traditional engineered approaches.
- Cuts across traditional jurisdictional boundaries, allowing stakeholders who experience similar hazards and share similar coastal settings to come together to develop effective adaptation strategies.
