How can we plan and design stronger communities? From New Orleans
to Galveston to the Jersey Shore, communities struck by natural
disasters struggle to recover long after the first responders have
left. Globally, the average annual number of natural disasters has
more than doubled since 1980. These catastrophes are increasing in
number as well as in magnitude, causing greater damage as we
experience rising sea levels and other effects of climate
change.
Engaged Research for Community Resilience to Climate Change is a guide to successfully integrating science into urban, regional, and coastal planning activities to build truly sustainable communities that can withstand climate change. It calls for a shift in academic researchers' traditional thinking by working across disciplines to solve complex societal and environmental problems, focusing on the real-world human impacts of climate change, and providing an overview of how science can be used to advocate for institutional change. Engaged Research for Community Resilience to Climate Change appeals to a wide variety of audiences, including university administrators looking to create and sustain interdisciplinary research groups, community and state officials, non-profit and community advocates, and community organizers seeking guidance for generating and growing meaningful, productive relationships with university researchers to support change in their communities.
