This book serves as a guide for local governments and private
enterprises as they navigate the unchartered waters of investing in
climate change adaptation and resilience. This book serves not only
as a resource guide for identifying potential funding sources but
also as a roadmap for asset management and public finance
processes. It highlights practical synergies between funding
mechanisms, as well as the conflicts that may arise between varying
interests and strategies. While the main focus of this work is on
the State of California, this book offers broader insights for how
states, local governments and private enterprises can take those
critical first steps in investing in society's collective
adaptation to climate change.
This edited book responds to the need for a better understanding of
how climate change affects North America and for the identification
of processes, methods and tools that may help countries and
communities to develop a more robust adaptive capacity. It
showcases successful examples of how to manage the social, economic
and environmental complexities posed by climate change. The book
attempts to synthesize various branches of resilience and
adaptation scholarship into a cohesive text that highlights field
research and best practices that are shaping policy and practice in
a wide geography from the coastal conditions of the Caribbean to
the thawing landscape of the Arctic Circle.

Blue Dunes chronicles the design of artificial barrier islands
developed to protect the Mid-Atlantic region of North America in
the face of climate change. It narrates the complex, and sometimes
contradictory, research agenda of an unlikely team of analysts,
architects, ecologists, engineers, physicists, and planners
addressing extreme weather and sea level rise within the practical
limitations of science, politics, and economics.
