Climate change is the most complex multi-generational challenge of the 21st century. Legislators, policy-makers, the business community, and civic leaders are planning and preparing for climate change, even in the absence of a consensus on long-term impacts. Whether concerns revolve around sea level rise or acute localized weather events, the global economy is set to witness increased disruption and uncertainty.
