The study, which will be presented by McKinsey during the America’s Energy Coast policy forum at the conclusion of the DELTAS2010: World Deltas Dialogue conference, has been eight months in the making and looks at assets across 77 coastal parishes and counties in the Gulf region. The report shows that without large-scale adaptation efforts, the region’s gross domestic product may be unable to keep up with the costs of protecting nationally critical assets. Full release
