The climate has changed and communities across America are living
with the consequences: rapid sea level rise, multi-state wildfires,
heat waves, and enduring drought. Living with Climate Change: How
Communities Are Surviving and Thriving in a Changing Climate
details the steps cities are taking now to protect lives and
businesses, to reduce their vulnerability, and to adapt and make
themselves more resilient. The authors included in this book have
been directly involved in the successful design and implementation
of community-based adaptation and resilience programs. In this
book, they apply decades of combined experience in hazard risk
reduction, climate change adaptation, and environmental protection
to provide timely and practical advice on how to plan for and live
with a climate that is changing faster and more erratically than
predicted. The book also examines obstacles to local, state, and
national action on climate change, includes case studies to
illustrate smart, effective policies and practices that have
already been put in place, and defines how these actions benefit
the economy, the environment, and public health. Living with
Climate Change provides much-needed guidance for finding and
enacting solutions to immediate and future risks of climate change.
