Conference Announcement: Legal Solutions to Coastal Climate Change Adaptation in Connecticut Friday February 10, 2012 University of Connecticut School of Law Hartford, Connecticut The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change states that evidence indicating a warming climate is "unequivocal" and that Earth's climate is already changing significantly in many regions of the world. Climate change is projected to result in higher sea levels and different precipitation, temperature and storm regimes, with consequent impacts to human communities as well as ecosystems. State and coastal decision-makers need to understand these impacts and develop strategies to enhance resilience. This conference aims to stimulate thinking on legal and policy approaches for coastal area climate change adaptation, with application to Connecticut.
