Few cities understand the gravity of climate change and its potential consequences for communities in the way that New Orleans does.  A city known for its lively culture, rich history, and dedicated residents, New Orleans has historically been positioned at the challenging confluence of vital economic venue and fragile natural systems.  In the aftermath of the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the City of New Orleans unveiled a commitment and strategy to tackle future shocks and stresses of climate change, as well as to reduce the economic and social disparities that contribute to climate vulnerability for some communities.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
