Presenters: Emilie Mazzacurati and Aleka Seville, Four Twenty Seven (www.427mt.com)
Climate change is already affecting the California economy and its impacts will continue to transform the Bay Area over the coming decades. This special briefing on the economic risk of climate change will discuss findings from recent studies on the Bay Area’s economic vulnerability to climate change, from drought and heat waves to floods. Aleka Seville from Four Twenty Seven will share insights on barriers and enablers to climate adaptation in the private sector, and engage the room in a discussion on opportunities and next steps for BPC to help build climate resilience for the Bay Area.
