Contrasting Approaches to Climate Change and Hazards « Recovery News

You might want to take a few minutes and listen to a group of planning professionals discussing how various localities are addressing climate change, rising sea levels, along with pre- and post-disaster planning.  In a word, they are talking about resiliency of the built environment in the face of natural forces.  Click title for link to brief introduction.  The YouTube video appears below.

If you missed parts 1 through 6 of the Mulvehill Monologues or if you read or heard all of them, you will be pleased to know that the information dispensed here is in easy-to-understand English and the speakers are able to complete trains of thought.  It deals with many of the same issues that were apparently discussed at the ICLEI conference attended by Commissioner Mulvehill.
