GENI's "Building Resilient Cities" project has demonstrated the merits thoughtful preparation for climate change consequences in San Diego. Over the course of this summer, we have diagnosed future threats to San Diego's well-being, identified potential opportunities for integrating resiliency, and explored the economic feasibility of these options. Now, legislation needs to be implemented to make this research a reality. This presentation will reflect on San Diego's existing environmental regulations and suggest areas and methods for resilience advancement. Our democratic form of government grants "power to the people"; thus, we have the ability and responsibility to promote resilient legislation in our region.
