Although there is widespread agreement on the need for adapting to the changing climate, there is no clear consensus on how much it will cost, or how communities can pay for it. This webinar addressed what the future holds for financial support for emergency preparedness and longer range adaptation planning. This webinar covered:
- An update on the rapidly changing costs of insurance for activities within identified vulnerable zones;
- How to best navigate the complexities for payments for damage incurred;
- Tips about already existing funds that can be tapped to support current efforts; and
- How a community might think out-of-the-box to mitigate future costs.
