Waterfront Conference: Designing for Tomorrow – The Multisector Approach to Climate Adaptation with the Waterfront Alliance
Manage episode 429093781 series 1089878
In episode 209 of America Adapts, I attended the Waterfront Conference in New York City hosted by the Waterfront Alliance. The conference took place at the Museum of Jewish Heritage in lower Manhattan. In this episode, you'll hear from state and local government officials talking about how they do coastal climate adaptation. We’ll also have insights from private sector companies who are leading the way in shovel-ready adaptation projects, essential for the next phase for the adaptation sector. Attendees were not just talking about adaptation—they’ve created templates and programs with broad applications. The Alliance’s WEDG national adaptation program is another innovative initiative that we'll highlight, showing how it's paving the way for resilient communities. You’ll also learn how 3D printing technology is used to create artificial reefs and seawalls. We'll also discuss private sector national funding efforts that are driving these shovel-ready adaptations and a new, massive New York State grant program for adaptation. The City of New York's climate justice efforts are also front, and center and we’ll dive into the concept of a cloudburst and how cities can manage these intense rainfall events. Yes, we cover a lot of ground in this episode!
