Resilient Cities: Funding Adaptation to Sea-Level Rise


Many of the world’s largest cities lie on river estuaries, making them directly vulnerable to rising sea levels.  From New York, New Orleans and Miami in the United States, to cities such as Lagos and Jakarta, huge investment will be needed defend these cities or to relocate their people and businesses.  

In extreme cases, countries such as Kiribati may face the need for wholesale relocation of their entire populations.

This online, interactive discussion will address the following:
  1. What choices can cities make to become more resilient to rising sea levels?
  2. How should you prioritise grey infrastructure, green infrastructure and behavioral change and how are they funding these initiatives?
  3. What are the lessons for other communities that live close to the sea?​​
We will be joined by:
  • Kate Boicourt, Director of Resilience, Waterfront Alliance
  • Kristin Baja, Programs Director, Climate Resilience, Urban Sustainability Directors Network
  • David Godschalk, Managing Director and General Counsel, Quantified Ventures
Our special guest host for this episode is climate finance strategist Lucia Pohlman.
