Adaptation Sciences Program (AdSci)

This webinar will discuss scaling nature-based solutions (NbS) and green infrastructure (GI) for stormwater management to address regional climate risks. Franco Montalto from CCRUN will present challenges and strategies for upscaling these systems across urban landscapes, leveraging CAP and AdSci funding to support broader resilience and sustainability planning.

This webinar features three projects exploring equitable, multi-objective adaptation planning using nature-based solutions (NbS). MARISA’s tool supports participatory scenario analysis in Baltimore, CLIMAS focuses on integrating health into climate resilience, and GLISA collaborates with Chicago partners on stormwater management and industrial corridor modernization for the Southeast Side’s vulnerable communities.

This webinar highlights two projects on coastal adaptive capacity. One, funded by AdSci, focuses on workshops and vulnerability assessments to enhance community resilience to sea level rise. The second, from the West CAP team, integrates technical assistance, regional data, and Indigenous stewardship for equitable sea-level rise adaptation in Southern California.

This webinar features two projects on adaptation planning. One, funded by AdSci, explores nature-based solutions for flood reduction in Houston, focusing on vulnerable communities. The second, by Pacific RISA, presents a natural capital approach to climate resilience in Hawaiʻi and other Pacific Islands, emphasizing local adaptation strategies.

This webinar will showcase two projects supporting resilience and adaptation planning. One, led by MARISA, uses a dual-drainage model to assess future flood risks and develop green infrastructure. The second, funded by AdSci, explores how diverse stakeholders perceive the benefits and trade-offs of shoreline Social Ecological Systems.
