Contents Notes |
Systems for large-scale change -- Rethink how and where we build -- Lawyer up -- Make markets work for resilience -- Tools for the decision-maker -- Find better ways to pay for resilience -- Get the data, and make it usable -- Work with human nature -- The upenders -- Harden the healthcare system, and make it smarter -- Buffer growing inequality -- Relocate people to safer ground -- Reconceive national security. "Building a Resilient Tomorrow does not dwell on overhyped descriptions of apocalyptic climate scenarios, nor does it travel down well-trodden paths surrounding the politics of reducing carbon emissions. Instead, it starts with two central facts: climate impacts will continue to occur, and we can make changes now to mitigate their effects. While squarely confronting the scale of the risks we face, this pragmatic guide focuses on solutions-some gradual and some more revolutionary-currently being deployed around the globe."-- |
