Shoring Up the Future: Policies and Plans Advancing Resilience in the Bay Area and Beyond
As rising sea levels and extreme weather events intensify and become more frequent, coastal communities across the U.S. face increasing pressure to adapt swiftly and turn bold ambitions into tangible action. California—home to some of the nation's most at-risk shorelines and pioneering climate policies—has become a testing ground for resilience strategies that could shape the future of coastal adaptation nationwide. Speakers will share firsthand insights from projects that are rewriting the playbook for how coastal communities adapt – including efforts to protect critical transportation networks, explore innovative nature-based solutions, and unlock new funding mechanisms for resilience. Whether you're a policymaker, planner, or practitioner, this session will provide valuable lessons and replicable strategies for building climate resilience—no matter where your coastline is.
