Description
Assessing Climate Risk: Practice Leaders and Funding in Adaptation & Resilience Markets Webinar
Climate adaptation & resilience as a practice area, and assessing climate risk across all projects has become one of the fastest moving segments in the environmental industry. EBJ’s next webcast convenes a panel of practice leaders sharing perspectives on how client demand is evolving, project funding sources and how IT and AI are being applied.
As governments, utilities, state DOTs, ports, communities and property owners confront increasingly complex climate risks, investment is accelerating across risk assessment, resilience planning, infrastructure modernization, nature-based solutions, water management, emergency preparedness and disaster risk reduction.
Experts will discuss:
- The evolution of the A&R market and project roles for consulting & engineering firms, and how adaptation and resilience projects are being funded, including federal, state, and local programs
- Infrastructure and disaster-mitigation grants
- Utility and transportation capital budgets
- Insurance and risk-transfer mechanisms
- Financing tied to broader infrastructure, energy, water, and community-development programs
