Who Pays? Private and Public Funding Innovation for Flooding and Sea Level Rise Resilience

In-person event Tuesday, April 21, 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM PT

As climate change and sea level rise increase flood risk to shoreline and inland communities, the cost to adapt can seem daunting. Public dollars alone won’t cut it.

In this session, thought leaders from the Bay Area to the East Coast will share insights for how we pay to address resilience, including innovative insurance, bonds, development incentives, public and private partnerships, and more.

This session is co-sponsored by the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission, ICLEI USA, and SPUR.
