More information at: https://www.eesi.org/briefings/view/060220prusvi The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) held a series of one-hour online briefings about resilience initiatives in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands and their ongoing recovery from back-to-back natural disasters over the last several years.
Margarita Varela Counsel for Office of Insular Affairs, House Committee on Natural Resources Ernesto Diaz Director of the Coastal Management Program, Puerto Rico Department of Natural and Environmental Resources Download Slides: https://www.eesi.org/files/Ernesto_Diaz_060220.pdf Every U.S. coast is facing climate adaptation challenges due to rising sea levels and other coastal hazards, but island economies are especially vulnerable. The Fourth National Climate Assessment points to the small size and relative isolation of the U.S. Caribbean islands (including Puerto Rico, Vieques, Culebra, St. Croix, St. Thomas, St. John, and Water Island), which means their “social, economic, and ecological systems are likely to be more sensitive to changes in temperature and precipitation than similar systems in the mainland United States.” This panel provided an overview of resilience initiatives in the U.S. Caribbean and discussed the status of federal support for disaster recovery and hazard mitigation. Margarita Varela-Rosa, Counsel in the U.S. House Committee on Natural Resources, discussed issues and legislation pertaining to the U.S. Territories of Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and American Samoa. Ernesto Diaz, Director of the Coastal Management Program, Puerto Rico Department of Natural and Environmental Resources, illustrated the science behind the extreme climate events Puerto Rico has faced in the last six years and provided a policy update and vision for recovery. |
