The Economics of Green Infrastructure: Strategies for Flood Mitigation
As the climate continues to change, it is predicted that the Great Lakes region will see an increase in severe rain events which is likely to cause increased flooding in local communities. Understanding the cost of these flooding events, and how to help lessen and even prevent them, is a critical need for Great Lakes communities. This webinar will provide information about:
- How economic information can be used to help communities understand and make more informed decisions about reducing the impacts of flooding
- How green infrastructure can be an important tool to help reduce flooding
- Case studies from three pilot areas in the Great Lakes: Green Bay, WI, Duluth, MN, and Toledo, OH
