The UArctic Thematic Network on Local-scale Planning, Climate Change and Resilience presents: "Captive in a prone area? Landowner responsibility for preventing disaster risk in the built environment in Norway", by Lene Sandberg, PhD Candidate, Faculty of Law, UiT the Arctic University of Norway.
The event will be held online on February 14, 2024, February 14, 2024, 10-11am MST, moderated by Dr. Jeff Birchall, School of Urban and Regional Planning, University of Alberta; Lead, UArctic Thematic Network on Local-scale Planning, Climate Change and Resilience.
Talk description:
In the light of climate change more frequent and intense landslides and floods will result in damage to property and belongings. While risk increases, and prone areas expand, it is still unclear who is responsible for implementing preventive measures for the built environment. Lene will discuss this dynamic in the context of landowners who after a new risk assessment, find themselves in natural disaster prone area.
