For the most part, the things we need to do to prevent the consequences are the exact same things we need to do to prepare for them: - Build dense, walkable housing with solid bike infrastructure and public transit so that people don't have to emit carbon on a daily basis to get around. - Move the power grid to renewables, especially distributed renewables like solar and small wind producers, which will be more resilient in the face of natural disasters. Nuclear and hydro are also definitely an important part of the mix, and we should continue to research storage options. - Areas on the coasts need to start relocating people further inland. Sea walls can temporarily delay the inevitable, but in the US semi-annual Katrinas, Harveys, and Marias are going to make the south eastern and gulf coasts unlivable. - Likewise, if you live outwest, consider moving back east to the midwest. The fires are only going to get worse, and water is only going to get more scare. The aquifers are going to run dry in a decade or two. The west cannot support anything remotely resembling its current habitation density over the long term. - Inland cities in the midwest should prepare for mass migrations by overbuilding dense, walkable housing and everything else needed to support it (retail, offices) in compact urban areas. That means urbanizing the downtowns of many midsized cities that are resisting it. And for the older sprawling major cities, they need to incentivize much more compact development and develop public transit systems that can make up the difference. - Everywhere, we should be relocalizing the food system and looking for ways to move towards a food system based on agro-ecology, that can provide natural habitat and sequester carbon, while also producing food. That mostly means tree crops and silvopasture. All of these things will _both_ help reduce the consequences and help prepare for them.
