Description:  The impacts of climate change do not affect all people equally. To help community leaders understand where climate-driven hazards like flooding and extreme heat may have disproportionate impacts, Headwaters Economics created Neighborhoods at Risk. The free, easy-to-use, interactive tool intelligently overlays more than a dozen climate exposure and social vulnerability factors, providing maps and neighborhood-scale data for every U.S. community. Neighborhoods at Risk also provides users with climate projections and a customized, downloadable report. This webinar will include a live demonstration and case studies about how the tool is being used for climate adaptation in the U.S.
