From more frequent storms to hotter heat waves, climate change is already affecting our region. In this session, participants will learn about innovative strategies to prepare communities for a changing climate. In addition to gaining a better understanding of climate impacts in the Chicago region, participants will hear from three experts working at different scales of resilience planning. Aaron Koch, the City of Chicago’s new Chief Resilience Officer, will discuss the city’s efforts to build social, economic, and environmental resilience. David Leopold, the Director of Project Management at UI Labs, will highlight innovative approaches to resilient infrastructure planning. Lastly, Mary Mitros from DuPage County Stormwater Management, will speak about the County’s work to reduce flooding in local municipalities. The panel will be moderated by Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP).
