Description

In this program, Hazel Henderson and geologist/oceans expert and author of Rising Tide on Main Street John Englander discuss the ways that humans can practice transition management: by mitigating and adapting to rising sea levels. The long-term processes set in motion by rising global temperatures, melting glaciers, and polar ice sheets are altering risk-analyses models in finance, insurance and business. Henderson and Englander consider how investments will be affected and where new opportunities lie in shifting beyond fossil fuels to low-carbon, cleaner green economies. Transition management strategies include: changing real estate values; building codes; reinforcing urban infrastructure; and citing essential transport and communications networks.
