SUMMARY:From Barriers to Blueprints: Evolving Environmental Regulations for a Resilient Future
DESCRIPTION:As the climate crisis accelerates\, state and local governments are rethinking outdated policies and building a regulatory foundation for climate resilience.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. \nClick Here to View the Recording\nForum Speakers & Panelists\nShannon Hulst\, CFM\nDeputy Director\, Cape Cod Cooperative Extension\nFloodplain & CRS Specialist\, Cape Cod Cooperative Extension & Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Sea Grant \n  \n \nCommissioner Shawn M.
