Legal & Policy Tools for Climate Resilience and Panel Discussion
Показать описание
Original Air Date: June 25, 2021
Objectives:
• Highlights from a select group of states describing their legislative and executive response to address climate challenges.
• Comparative legal and legislative frameworks that could be adopted in Connecticut to support state and local resilience efforts.
Abstract:
To assess Connecticut’s response to climate change at a state policy level, we evaluated and compared states’ responses in New England and other coastal states that have enacted novel legislation or Executive Orders addressing climate change impacts. States have taken an inter-agency approach to assess state needs, leveraging expertise and knowledge on a wide range of issues, but taking a dichotomous approach to mitigation and adaptation actions. Specifically, we investigated the enabling of various municipal level bodies that would have authority to finance, design, construct, operate and maintain infrastructure. Understanding vulnerability and need is a crucial first step to effective climate planning. Once need is evaluated, some states created municipal grant systems to provide seed money or matching funds for projects to allow municipalities access to larger funding sources. States have enabled an array of legal authorities to give municipalities the flexibility to create legal structures that best fit their needs. Connecticut has taken steps in this direction and should increase support to municipalities for climate-resilient planning.
