George Deodatis addresses the threat posed by the combination of sea level rise & storm-induced flooding to interdependent infrastructure, including its above- & below-ground components. The ultimate objective is to establish optimal adaptation/mitigation strategies within a prescribed budget. Strategies in this context include, but are not restricted to, building sea-walls or other artificial & natural protective mechanisms, as well as strategic retreat.
Thaddeus Pawlowski will then delve into the crucial topic of climate adaptation in New York City, where he'll share invaluable insights learned from the devastating impact of Hurricane Sandy on housing displacement & neighborhood recovery. He will explore why addressing the climate crisis is not just a matter of environmental concern, but also an urgent call to redesign urban systems that perpetuate social vulnerability, & pave the way for a more resilient & sustainable future.
