“We are already seeing the consequences of climate change – both environmental and financial . . . we have an obligation to take action now to reduce future impacts,” said Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski.

Our project with Baltimore County builds on the County’s climate resilience progress by assessing the feasibility of establishing a County-wide climate resilience financing authority. 

Working with a workgroup of County staff, Throwe’s work will result in a thorough literature review of existing climate-related planning documents; a climate mitigation action strategy and project portfolio; a climate action funding and financing “roadmap;” an institutional capacity analysis; and a final project report.

This project runs from January 2023 through October 2023.
