Bloomberg Center for Cities
The sweeping rollback of federal climate risk policies, including the Federal Flood Risk Management Standard, leaves cities more vulnerable to extreme weather events, rising property insurance costs, and financial strain from disaster recovery. Without federal guidance, communities must take proactive steps to strengthen infrastructure and implement innovative, localized climate resilience strategies tailored to their needs.
Join an Earth Day discussion on insurance solutions for escalating climate extremes. The panel will explore cutting edge approaches through risk protection, public-private partnerships, and insurance that cities can use to safeguard their most vulnerable residents and build a more climate-resilient future.
Co-sponsored with the Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability at Harvard University.
