Most debates on Climate change are often focused on Mitigation and very little attention has been given to adapting to climate change. The ongoing California Climate Adaptation Strategy Draft is among the first example of a tactical plan for action by a government agency to adapt to extreme climate events and sea-level rise.
This issue is of great importance in developing world cities which are often characterized by extreme poverty; and these poor communities will be most vulnerable to any potential extreme climate events. The forum held in University of California, Berkeley explored strategies that addressed the impact of sea level rise and extreme climate events. Sarah Barker from BERC , Erin Cubinson from Gensler and Prathima Manohar of The Urban Vision introduce “Battling the Sea Level Rise” .
