ICR24: Innovations in Climate Resilience Conference hosted by Battelle
America Adapts the Climate Change Podcast
Community Resilience and Home Buyer Behavior
The chapter explores a study on how community resilience to climate and disasters influences home buyer behavior and prices, revealing a premium on resilience regardless of risk levels. Various factors contributing to this value on resilience are discussed, such as human bias in risk assessment and preferences of individuals concerned about risk. The concept of resilience is further analyzed through the University of South Carolina's resilience index, highlighting the importance of specific indicators in measuring community resilience.
In episode 206 of America Adapts, the podcast partnered with Battelle for their third annual Innovations in Climate Resilience Conference, ICR24. The conference took place April 22-24th in Washington, D.C. at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center. Keynote speakers and attendees join the pod to share their experiences in climate adaptation and also discuss highlights from the conference. The event attracted senior level federal officials along with emerging adaptation professionals from the private sector. The themes of the conference were resilience, mitigation and sustainability and you learn how Battelle, through the conference, is prioritizing adaptation. This is the third ICR and the first to be hosted in the nation’s capital. You’ll also hear from a high school student who won Battelle’s Climate Challenge - the future of adaptation is in good hands. ICR24 isn't just any conference; it's a convergence of minds, bringing together environmental professionals, scientists, researchers, students, and key leaders.
