New Report on Natural Resiliency -
|
|
Report A new report published by the National Wildlife Federation, Natural Defenses in Action, highlights the important role that natural and nature-based approaches can play in reducing the mounting risks to our communities from weather and climate-related natural hazards. The report profiles a dozen case studies that highlight best-in-class examples of how natural defenses are being put to use to avoid or reduce risks from flooding, coastal storms, erosion, and wildfire. Webinar On Tuesday, June 28th from 8:45 to 11:30 AM, the National Wildlife Federation will be hosting a webinar for remote participants to virtually attend a series of presentations as part of the Nature-Based Solutions to Enhance Coastal Resilience Workshop at the CUNY Graduate Center in NYC. The webinar will feature four presentations that will highlight existing practices, challenges, and the status, design, and maintenance of nature-based solutions projects for enhancing coastal resilience in New York and New Jersey. Speakers will include: Chris Hilke, National Wildlife Federation; Jackie Jahn, GreenVest; Dawn McReynolds, NYS DEC; Steve Jacobus, NJ DEP; and Dr. Jon K. Miller, Stevens Institute of Technology. |
