Spending billions on storm defense is only the start
Original: Opinion | We’ll spend billions to gird for storms, but we can’t stop there
A Boston Globe opinion piece argues that while the region is set to spend billions of dollars preparing for severe storms, resilience spending alone is not enough. The writer contends that hardening infrastructure against extreme weather must be paired with broader action, rather than treating storm preparation as a complete solution to climate risks.
Why now: The opinion piece is drawing attention amid ongoing debate over how much governments should invest in climate adaptation versus prevention.
