Coastal communities face rising seas, extreme weather, and displacement, proving that resilience requires more than just infrastructure. True adaptation demands investment in nature, local leadership, economic opportunity and community capacity.

Featuring insights from New York’s Jamaica Bay to the Indian Ocean, speakers will discuss how these initiatives protect shorelines, strengthen local economies, and create workforce opportunities.
