Aligning Regulatory Climate Change Risk with Development Decision Making
March 9, 2021 via Zoom
8am to 10:00am (7:45 log-in)

How does New Jersey align regulatory climate change risk with development decision making?  Hear about the challenges of regulating and approving/denying development and redevelopment of areas in high risk of damage due to climate change events. Responding to catastrophic events and rebuilding areas devastated by climate change events is costly to everyone: Federal, State and local governments, companies, business owners and employees, property owners, and of course taxpayers. The challenges to be tackled include where to (re)build, what to build, how to build, and who should be the decision makers.
