New: “Understanding complex climate threats in coastal cities” infographic
Washington, D.C— On Tuesday, March 2, Sally Yozell, Director of the Stimson Center’s Environmental Security Program, will speak on Innovation: Advances in science and technology to preserve ocean health and mitigate climate change, a panel at the Economist’s World Ocean Summit. Yozell’s remarks will focus on using tools and technology to empower policymakers grappling with the accelerating impact of climate change around the world.
In advance of the Summit, The Stimson Center’s Environmental Security Program also released an infographic “Understanding complex climate threats in coastal cities” which showcases how their innovative Climate and Ocean Risk Vulnerability Index (CORVI) tool produces comprehensive climate risk profiles for coastal cities by comparing a diverse range of economic, social, and environmental risk. These detailed profiles empower governments, businesses, and financial institutions to understand their cities’ climate risk and pinpoint areas of action to adapt to the climate emergency.
