SUMMARY:Fostering Collaboration for Climate Adaptation and Decarbonization in the Built Environment
DESCRIPTION:In a time characterized by rising climate extremes\, this session underscores the significance of bridging the gap between the public and private sectors to effectively prepare for climate challenges. Led by experts from Arcadis\, the session will delve into two key aspects of climate action: climate mitigation\, which focuses on energy conservation and sustainable operational practices\, and climate adaptation\, which emphasizes readiness for extreme weather. \nThe evolving regulatory environment\, exemplified by measures like Local Law 97\, now positions decarbonization of the built environment as a necessity rather than a choice. \nSpeakers will share case studies of successful responses to risks following extreme weather events over the past decade and long-term public initiatives. By demonstrating the long-term cost savings for private owners through reduced insurance claims and damages and to public cities/agencies by preventing or reducing future hazard response and recovery costs\, the discussion will underscore the benefits of public-private collaboration in working toward adapting to and mitigating the effects of climate change. \nArcadis\, renowned for its expertise in sustainable development and resilience\, will moderate the panel discussion. Through Arcadis’ Dutch roots and metropolitan clients such as the city of Rotterdam\, New York City and Miami\, there is tremendous potential to re-evaluate urban areas in a way that they are climate resilient and include other measures to mitigate the effects of climate change. \n\nLearning Objectives\n\n\n\n\nUnderstand the value proposition associated with ESG (Environmental\, Social\, and Governance) performance\, including the benefits and significance of effectively implementing ESG practices within buildings.\nUnderstand the current state of practice of climate resilience planning and risk preparedness in the public and private sector through best practice introductions.\nUnderstand climate risk mitigation through risk scoring and defining base and design flood elevations for built assets\, performing vulnerability assessments\, and defining conceptual solution strategies for flood mitigation.\nLearn from real-world examples\, such as Battery Park City in New York City\, and 7 Square Endeavour in Rotterdam\, on how private sector investments can supplement public resources for an integrative approach on climate resilience\, decarbonization and hazard mitigation.
