    Abstract This book serves as a guide for local governments and private enterprisesas they navigate the unchartered waters of investing in climate changeadaptation and resilience. This book serves not only as a resource guidefor identifying potential funding sources but also as a roadmap for assetmanagement and public fi nance processes. It highlights practical synergiesbetween funding mechanisms, as well as the confl icts that may arise betweenvarying interests and strategies. While the main focus of this work is on theState of California, this book offers broader insights for how states, localgovernments and private enterprises can take those critical fi rst steps ininvesting in society's collective adaptation to climate change

    Abstract This article provides a perspective on the reciprocal relationships between public and private sector resilience planning activities and the ongoing COVID responses in the U.S. Through the lens of the built environment, this article provides selected insights into how various disaster, organizational, and engineering resilience activities have likely positively shaped COVID responses within the healthcare sector. These positive influences are contextualized within extensive efforts within public health and healthcare management to calibrate community resilience frameworks and practices for utilization in everything from advancing community health to the continuity of facilities operations. Thereafter, the article shifts focus to speculate on how ongoing experiences under COVID might yield positive impacts for future resilience designs, plans and policies within housing and the built environment. Through this perspective, the article hopes to explore those often overlooked aspects of the physical and social parameters of the built environment that may be understood as providing opportunities to inform future disaster, public health, and climate change preparations and responses.

    Abstract As resilience and adaptation considerations become mainstreamed into public policy, there is an overarching desire to measure and quantify metrics and indicators that seek to evaluate the efficiency, effectiveness, and justness associated with outcomes of such processes. While much research has sought to develop specific indicators that may serve as proxies for these considerations, less research has focused on those normative aspects of indicator design that support a variety of goals associated with the accuracy, reproducibility, proxy value and multi-stakeholder translation of indicators, among various other goals and values. This perspective article sets forth a range of potential considerations that may be useful for those who seek to design and develop novel resilience and adaptation indicators ("RAIs"). These considerations are explored through a range of hypothetical examples that may be applicable to coastal communities that seek to address the practical challenges facing the design, execution, management and modification of RAIs.

    Abstract This paper presents and analyzes the results of a survey of actors (n = 130) engaged in planning activities in local governments in the United States (U.S.). This exploratory survey was designed to evaluate the nature of existing resilience, climate change and multi-hazard planning activities, if any, as well as additional considerations for understanding the general state of awareness and knowledge of resilience activities and strategies among various public sector actors. The survey data tests several hypotheses, including the hypothesized disproportionate activity of large cities; the positive correlation between resilience, hazard mitigation and emergency planning; and, the dominate usage of disaster and engineering conceptual variants of resilience. Data from the survey provides evidence in support of an affirmation of the hypotheses. The paper offers insight into the dominate actors and frames that are driving resilience planning, as well as the challenges faced by a lack of discipline for applying categorical variants of resilience.

  9. Article: California climate adaptation trust fund: exploring the leveraging of cap-and-trade proceeds

    Abstract This article provides an exploratory evaluation of the extent to which statutorily unallocated revenues under California’s cap-and-trade (“CT”) program could be securitized to lever an investment trust fund, referenced as the California Climate Adaptation Trust Fund (“CCA Fund”). The article seeks to address two research questions. First, how much money could the state raise from securitizing CT revenue, if at all? Second, what are the challenges and uncertainties to operating a levered fund? Based on a modified portfolio model initially capitalized by CT revenue, this article evaluates not only the size and potential performance of a CCA Fund, but also the range of challenges and opportunities facing the development of a portfolio of products advanced in the name of financing climate adaptation investments. The model results are presented through various expert-derived scenarios that are framed by various political drivers and market parameters. While the totality of resources needed to adapt public infrastructure and programs to climate change is unknown, local economic extrapolations of climate change impacts are increasingly well understood across sectors—with the California Climate Assessment putting the annual price tag at $50 billion by 2050. This article contributes to a current legislative and policy debates that are seeking to develop methods for understanding and exploring the range of opportunities and challenges associated with state-sponsored adaptation trust funds.

  10. Article: Underwaterwriting: from theory to empiricism in regional mortgage markets in the U.S

    Abstract This article provides the theoretical foundation for the concept of “Underwaterwriting,” which can be understood as various informational and institutional limitations related to environmental exposure and climate change impacts—specifically flooding and sea level rise inundation—shaping firm participation in mortgage markets. Underwaterwriting suggests that the unevenness of scientific knowledge and local soft information, as well as the institutional barriers for the utilization of that information, could result in determinations of risk that may not accurately reflect long-term asset performance or credit loss. These informational asymmetries may result in assignments of risk that reflect a degree of arbitrariness or inaccuracy that may operate to strand assets and shed or increase market share in ways that are inefficient and may otherwise lead to negative public externalities. Consistent with this theory, this article provides evidence that concentrated local lenders are transferring risk in high-risk coastal geographies in the Southeast Atlantic and Gulf Coasts (U.S.) through increased securitization of mortgages. These findings provide an impetus for supporting more robust analysis of climate-risk in light of forthcoming accounting rules that require an upfront accounting of forward-looking credit losses.
