The Future of US Climate Adaptation & Resilience Under Trump 2.0
"Climate change" is likely to become taboo under the second Trump administration. The incoming president believes global warming to be a “hoax”, and Project 2025 – the right-wing blueprint for his second term – calls for erasing climate change references “from absolutely everywhere.”
However, climate-related disasters will not go away just because the federal government refuses to accept their root causes. There is, and will continue to be, a need for policies, finance, and innovation to address climate impacts to communities and businesses, and to adapt to higher temperatures and more frequent weather extremes.
How will climate adaptation and resilience evolve under the new administration? How could state and local governments step up to better climate-proof their constituents? And how might private investors and startups dedicated to adaptation and resilience adjust their strategies in a transformed policy space?
Our panel of experts will address all these questions and more at this exclusive salon-style event at Kobrick Coffee. Light refreshments will be provided. Spaces are strictly limited, so book your tickets today.
