Adam Freed On Climate-Proofing Cities

City leaders are up to their necks in climate risks. They need help to harden their people and places against floods, storms, and heat waves.  Why not call Adam Freed? Today's Climate Proofers guest is a Principal at Bloomberg Associates, an organization which provides adaptation and resilience consulting to Mayors and their staff – pro bono.
