CaGIS+UCGIS Symposium

Extreme weather due to global heating will cause unprecedented strain and damage to infrastructure and built environments that were designed for climate conditions that no longer exist. The way we build can also enhance or attenuate the impacts of heat waves, extreme precipitation and strong storms on people and property. How should we change our approach to planning and designing our infrastructure and built environment to mitigate and adapt to the climate crisis? These questions will be addressed by an expert panel drawing from academia, the private sector and government.
