• Disproportionate impacts to disadvantaged communities
• Unintended flood impacts • Other, more pressing
concerns, take precedent• Near-term loss of wetlands• No way to measure collective
progress
But Local Only Adaptation Will Lead to Insufficient Local and Regional Outcomes

Purpose
Develop and adopt a regional, consensus-drivenstrategy that lays out the actions necessary to adapt the Bay Area to rising sea level to protect people and
the natural and built environment
![Page 6: BCDC Briefing August 20, 2020 · the Bay Area to rising sea level to protect people and the natural and built environment. Bay Adapt Components 1. Develop Guiding Principles for Bay](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052000/60129cfec6766a3426624be1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Bay Adapt Components
1. Develop Guiding Principles
for Bay Area adaptation to rising
sea levels
+ 2. Develop a Joint Platform
of shared priority actions
+ 3. Adopt the Joint Platform
by committing to act and act
together

What is a Joint Platform?
A roadmap, comprised of actions, for coordinated Bay Area sea level rise adaptation:
• 10 - 15 actions (2 pages each)• Co-owned, co-created, co-implemented• Short and Long Term • Low Hanging and Ambitious• Who, What, Why, Where When, How

Bay Adapt Working Groups
What are the necessary steps to ensure that Bay Area jurisdictions plan together toward shared regional outcomes?
How can we support local adaptation planning in a way that is consistent and accessible to resource-constrained local jurisdictions?
How can we expedite the delivery of high-quality adaptation projects?

Discussion Questions
• Is this suite of topic areas headed in the right direction toward developing a Regional Strategy for a Rising Bay?
• How can Bay Adapt partners strengthen connections with local elected officials. jurisdictions and frontline communities during and after Bay Adapt?
• Looking Ahead: How do we ensure Bay Adapt continues beyond November?
