Resilient Coasts: A Blueprint for Action was directed by The Heinz Center and Ceres, and is endorsed by a diverse group, including The Travelers Institute, The Nature Conservancy, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Wharton School, and the Mayor of Charleston, S.C. The blueprint's specific recommendations include:
* Enabling planning for climate impacts by providing the necessary science and decision-making tools;
* Requiring risk-based land use planning;
* Designing adaptable infrastructure and building code standards to meet future risk;
* Strengthening ecosystems as part of a risk mitigation strategy;
* Developing flexible adaptation plans;
* Maintaining a viable private property and casualty insurance market;
* Integrating climate change impacts into due diligence for investment and lending.
