Adapting to climate change is gaining recognition as a sensible component of municipal planning and development. Decisions regarding how subdivisions are designed, where structures are placed, to what extent facilities are replaced or upgraded, and the standards and codes to which they are built can all be better informed by an understanding of how a changing climate will impact them locally over their intended life spans. If your organization requires assistance in planning for adaptation, please contact me.
