The Path Forward: Regional Strategies for Climate Resilience

From rising seas to stronger storms, from grid reliability to frequent flooding, municipalities and states face common climate challenges that are daunting individually but can be addressed cooperatively by leveraging collective effort. Regional resilience can be a path forward.

UConn Law’s Center for Energy & Environmental Law hosted a solutions-based conference on April 17 that explored priorities and pathways toward regional resilience. The discussion ranged from law and policy to science and engineering, with panels featuring historians, climate scientists, municipal planners, and law professors.

The conference concluded with a collaborative workshop in which participants helped shape a report to the National Science Foundation outlining key priorities for regional resilience in the Northeast.
