As extreme weather events become more frequent and severe, Connecticut residents, businesses, and municipalities must urgently invest in climate resilience. Over the past decade, municipalities like the City of New Haven have taken initial steps to plan for the impacts of climate change. This session highlights Resilient Fair Haven, hearing from the City of New Haven and its partners—including the Connecticut Institute for Resilience and Climate Adaptation (CIRCA) and Connecticut Green Bank—about challenges and opportunities to address issues of flooding, extreme heat, and to increase climate resilient investments in vulnerable communities. Hear about lessons learned from those efforts as well as new tools and solutions like "Resilience Improvement Districts" to accelerate climate resilience action in the next decade.
