Description
Summary:Cross-cutting * The relationship between climate change and the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, such as coastal storms and increased riverine flooding, will be critical for the state, and land use planning and regulation will play a critical role in mitigating the public health impacts associated with such extreme weather events. * There is great variability of vulnerability to climate risks among North Carolinians, and climate change public health threats will not affect all individuals equally. [...]environmental justice concerns are a significant gap in our current knowledge base of how to adapt to and prepare for climate impacts.
