Description

In 2012, the Philadelphia, PA, Mayoräó»s Office of Sustainability (MOS) convened the Climate Adaptation Working Group (CAWG), a group of 10 agencies and departments committed to guiding the cityäó»s work to prepare for climate change. They commissioned a report on climate information for Philadelphia to help city departments understand climate projections and how they can include the information in their decision-making processes. This follow-up report assesses vulnerabilities and preparation opportunities for municipal government and identifies relatively low-barrier and high-impact internal actions that can be taken immediately to reduce the risks to physical infrastructure. It discusses climate projections for the Philadelphia region; Philadelphiaäó»s key climate vulnerabilities; the costs of climate change to Philadelphia; interdependencies and opportunities for interdepartmental cooperation; and policy, planning and finance. Figures. This is a print on demand report.
