Can you just explain what climate adaptation is and what you do?
0:50
Yeah, sure.
0:51
We actually talk about both climate adaptation and climate resilience.
0:55
So when we talk about climate adaptation, we're talking about the way we evaluate our climate risk and understand our hazards, and then integrate that into the way that we plan, build, and operate so that we're more prepared for extreme events or the changing climate when it comes.
1:13
When we talk about resilience, it's more about how systems, so natural systems, community systems, built systems, how those systems respond when a climate event does occur, and then recover afterwards.
1:26
So it's really important for cities to have both.
1:28
Adaptation and resilience really work together.
5:20
Mm.
