Description
As climate change creates a less predictable future with extensive catastrophic flooding from heavy rains, increasing fire frequency, longer periods of drought, unseasonal blizzards, longer-lasting heat waves, and rising sea levels, where is considered “a nice place to live” is shifting. Traditionally, focus has been placed on helping impacted communities become more resilient to the impacts of climate change. This session will instead focus on identifying and preparing Receiver Cities to accommodate population migration as it continues to increase . Presenters will recap the work that has been happening over the past 3 years, as well as provide a forum to engage new contributors in the implementation phase. Presenters will share how their work is contributing to the Receiver City model that will be used to support target cities in 2020-2021 to be better equipped to receive people looking for a safer, more resilient, "climate ready" city in which to live.
