Dean Blake Hudson will discuss his scholarship, Resilient Forest Management and Climate Change. Specifically, Dean Hudson will argue, among other things, how, in light of climate-induced deforestation, society “must craft law and policy responses to help forests adapt more quickly.” Professor Shelley Saxer’s scholarship, Building Climate Resilience with Local Tools, will argue in favor of “mitigation and adaptation strategies that should inform rebuilding efforts” after disruptive disasters. Professor John Travis Marshall will highlight his scholarship, States in an Era of Climate Change: Hurricane Michael and Opportunities to Advance Rural Resilience to Natural Hazards. In so doing, Professor Marshall will suggest ways that communities “might move quickly following a disaster event to jumpstart long-term transformative housing recovery.” Professor Mark Nevitt will, again, draw upon his insurance retreat scholarship to discuss how insurers and regulators can aid in planning today for tomorrow’s uncertainties. Throughout the discussion, Dean Sonia Hirt, renowned environmental planner and Guggenheim Fellow, will pose questions to maximize the applicability of the conversation to attendees’ respective legal practices. The panel will conclude with approximately ten minutes of audience question and answer.application/pdfhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/University of Georgia.
