City of Boulder : Climate Adaptation

PropertyValue
NameCity of Boulder : Climate Adaptation
Project PurposeAs the climate changes, so must Boulder. To effectively address the challenges that a changing climate will bring, climate adaptation and mitigation (i.e., reducing local greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions) policies must complement each other and efforts within and across sectors must be coordinated. Boulder’s ability to manage its climate risks through adaptation depends on a number of critical factors including its baseline and projected economic resources, technologies, infrastructure, institutional support and effective governance, public awareness, access to the best available scientific information, sustainably-managed natural resources and equity in access to these resources. Boulder’s Climate Resiliency Strategy will summarize the best known science on climate change impacts in the state to assess vulnerability and outline possible solutions that can be implemented within the city and across the region to promote resiliency.
