SUMMARY:EBC Webinar: From Barriers to Blueprints: Evolving Environmental Regulations for a Resilient Future
DESCRIPTION:The Climate Adaptation Forum is a collaboration between the Environmental Business Council and the Sustainable Solutions Lab at the University of Massachusetts Boston. \nAs the climate crisis accelerates\, state and local governments are rethinking outdated policies and building a regulatory foundation for climate resilience. This Forum will spotlight innovative approaches to updating regulations\, many of which were originally written without climate change in mind\, to support adaptation projects that address sea level rise\, flooding\, and extreme weather. \nThrough case studies from across the U.S.\, including New Jersey’s overhaul of land use policies\, Cape Cod’s climate-focused regional plan\, and the Vermont Flood Safety Act\, we’ll explore how forward-looking jurisdictions are embedding climate adaptation into permitting\, zoning\, and design standards. \nSpeakers will discuss the process of developing enforceable frameworks\, the importance of accommodating dynamic coastlines and shifting baselines\, and the tools being used to navigate uncertainty. \nAttendees will gain insight into how regulations are being reshaped as catalysts for resilient infrastructure\, healthy ecosystems\, and equitable community protection. \nForum Speakers\nCommissioner Shawn M. LaTourette\nDepartment of Environmental Protection\nState of New Jersey \n\nHeather McElroy\nNatural Resources Program Manager\nCape Cod Commission \n\nLauren Oates\nDirector of External Affairs in Vermont\nThe Nature Conservancy \n\nModerated Panel Discussion  \nForum Co-Chairs\n \nJoseph Famely\nClimate & Sustainability Team Lead\nWoods Hole Group\, Inc. \n\nKyle Johnson\nClimate Resiliency Practice Lead (East Division)\nKleinfelder\n \n\n  \nBeth Lambert\nDirector\, Division of Ecological Restoration\nDepartment of Fish and Game\, Commonwealth of Massachusetts
