National Adaptation Forum in Baltimore

The National Adaptation Forum was in Baltimore this year, so it was an ideal opportunity for Katie May Laumann and Annie Carew to present on the Maryland Coastal Adaptation Report Card. There were many excellent presentations and stimulating discussions on the future of coastal adaptaion and management in the face of climate change. Many attendees and speakers recognize the importance of equity in climate adaptation: those communities that are first and worst affected are predominantly those that are least prepared to handle the oncoming changes because of historic and systemic inequities.
