Maryland Coastsmart

On April 27, 2009 in Annapolis, more than 170 mayors, county commissions, environmentalists, business leaders and Maryland state officials come together for an interactive summit about community-level responses to climate risks such as sea-level rise and storm surge.

The summits centerpiece was an innovative negotiation simulation that demonstrated the key challenges and policy options coastal communities face. Local towns and cities across Maryland and the nation are encouraged to use this roleplay to begin the important conversation about adapting to climate change.
