In episode 201 of America Adapts, I'm partnering with Battelle on their Innovations in Climate Resilience Conference, ICR24, taking place April 22-24th in the heart of Washington, DC. ICR24 isn't just any conference; it's a convergence of minds, bringing together environmental professionals, scientists, researchers, students, and key leaders from the White House, Department of Energy, National Labs, Department of Defense, industry, and academia. In this episode, we have a lineup of expert guests who will delve into the core of climate resilience. First up is Justin Sanchez, a technical fellow at Battelle. Justin will ground us in Battelle's unique approach to resilience and share insights into their early work in climate adaptation. He'll also provide an exclusive preview of what to expect at ICR24. Following Justin, we're joined by John Conger of Conger Strategies. With extensive experience working in Congress and holding senior leadership positions at the Department of Defense, John will shed light on the crucial role of the public sector in climate resilience. We'll round out the discussion with Katie MacDonald from the group Tailwind, who will illuminate the strides the private sector is making in the adaptation space. It's been a long time coming, and Kate will share some encouraging news and experiences from the forefront of private sector innovation. America has been a frontrunner in climate adaptation, and our three dynamic guests today will energize you with insights into the amazing developments happening right now. We'll continue this conversation at ICR24, and for more details about the event, be sure to check out the show notes for relevant links. We'll see you in DC!

In episode 194 of America Adapts, we take a deep dive on climate risk and the insurance sector. Earlier in the fall host Doug Parsons attended a two day conference hosted at American University in Washington DC. The conference was organized by Environmental Defense Fund, SBP and American University. The event brought together experts that focus on the role of insurance when it comes to building equity in disaster recovery, reducing future losses, expanding coverage with new innovations, and managing increasing climate-related disasters. You'll hear the need for insurance companies to conduct climate risk analysis and the role of government in addressing these issues. Experts at this conference laid the intellectual groundwork on where the insurance industry will need to go and you'll hear highlights in this episode.

In episode 194 of America Adapts, World Wildlife Fund (WWF) returns to continue the 'Flood Green Guide' series focused on nature based approaches to flood risk management. This is a follow up to the episodes from 2018 published shortly after the release of their "Natural and Nature Based Flood Management: A Green Guide, better known now around the world as the Flood Green Guide. In the intervening years, despite setbacks by the pandemic, WWF has been busy doing trainings on the flood green guide and in this episode, we're exploring how WWF engages youth in flood risk and management. We'll hear from young individuals worldwide, sharing their experiences with flooding and their thoughts on nature-based approaches to flood risk management and the importance of art, science, and engaging communities. We'll discuss why WWF is launching a new Flood Green Guide Youth Champion initiative, the importance of including youth in flood risk reduction strategies and some of the barriers young leaders face while trying to make meaningful change. And we'll hear from a group of young professionals who traveled to Sri Lanka to work with the WWF team to design the Flood green guide youth champions initiative from the ground up.

In episode 193 of America Adapts, Doug Parsons hosts Michael Coren, a journalist from the Washington Post who writes the Climate Coach Advice column. We go behind the scenes and learn how a national newspaper like the Wash Post covers climate change. Several major newspapers have expanded their climate coverage in the last couple years and you'll learn how the Post has structured that coverage. We also discuss some of the diverse topics he covers in his "Climate Coach" column and his increasing focus on climate adaptation. The conversation also touches on climate skepticism and the state of climate action in California, showcasing Michael's unique perspective and expertise in the field of climate journalism. The episode starts with a short interview with Laur Hess Fisher from MIT who shares a preview of Season 5 of the Today I Learned Climate Podcast. Transcript of the episode available here. Topics Covered: How a major newspaper covers climate change The Climate Coach advice column Should the media use the phrase "natural disaster"? Should Adaptation be covered differently by the news media? Climate Skepticism: an underreported story?

In episode 192 of America Adapts, Doug Parsons hosts Dr. Kelly Turner and Dr. Ladd Keith. Kelly is an Associate Professor of Urban Planning at UCLA and Ladd is an assistant professor in the School of Landscape Architecture and Planning at the University of Arizona. We learn how extreme heat disproportionately impacts marginalized communities. We also explore the evolving media coverage of extreme heat. The three of us break down the highs and lows of all the media coverage of extreme heat this past summer. We also learn about Kelly's research on heat's impact on California schools, and what that means for both public health and student learning. We take a dive into federal approaches to heat management and learn about the glaring disparity in resources and attention allocated to extreme heat compared to other climate hazards and ponder the potential for FEMA to classify extreme heat as a disaster declaration. We also discuss the value of having a national adaptation plan for extreme heat planning. Finally, and yes, we go there, we get an update on the efforts to name heat waves. We highlight the pros and cons of this approach and discuss other options. It is a gangbuster episode and that's just a sampling of what we cover. Transcripts for this episode available here. (These are computer generated so pardon the errors.) Topics Covered: Dr. Turner specializes in heat equity research, while Dr. Keith focuses on heat policy planning and governance. Increasing prevalence of extreme heat due to climate change and its disproportionate impact on marginalized groups. Media coverage of extreme heat is becoming more sophisticated, highlighting impacts on workers and public health. Dr. Turner's research in California focuses on schools and heat's impact on student learning. Discussion of heating planning strategies including shade in urban design. The Biden administration is updating heat safety labor laws, emphasizing the need for comprehensive regulations at state and federal levels and the potential for FEMA labeling heat events as disaster declarations. Naming heat waves to increase public awareness is debated, highlighting the importance of reaching vulnerable populations. Will heat lead to managed retreat from regions that become uninhabitable? A national adaptation plan is emphasized to address heat impacts, especially for marginalized communities. Thoughts on Jeff Goodell's "The Heat Will Kill You" book.

Donate to America Adapts In episode 187 of America Adapts, Doug Parsons hosts Dena Prastos, founder and CEO of the architectural firm Indigo River. In this episode, we learn the fundamentals of architecture and climate adaptation. Dena and Doug discuss the crucial role architects play in advocating for sustainable and resilient design practices that emphasize climate change risks. We discuss Indigo River's focus on waterfront projects in flood-prone areas and their incorporation of resilience and adaptation into designs, especially in the New York region. Dena also addresses the ethical dilemmas of designing for climate change. She shares the role of governing bodies in architecture and how they can help bring adaptation into this sector. This was a fascinating discussion: how does one behave as an ethical architect in the age of climate change? What are the ethics of adaptation? Do they differ by sector? Artificial intelligence and its role in architecture? Introduction and Overview of Indigo River Architects' Role in Climate Adaptation and Sustainable Design Architects' Responsibility in Advocating Sustainable Construction Practices Balancing Ethics and Client Demands Ethics of Designing in High-Risk Areas The Ethics of Architecture and Adapting to Future Scenarios The Impact of Infrastructure Investment Act on Architecture and Grants Process Architectural governance The Future Role of Architects Image credit: Danist Soh and Anders Jildén Subscribe to the America Adapts newsletter here.

Donate to America Adapts In episode 186 of America Adapts, Doug Parsons hosts Madison Condon, a law professor at Boston University School of Law. Doug and Madison explore the critical role climate models play in adaptation planning, but more importantly, their capabilities, what they can and can not do,. Madison explains what is the "climate industrial complex' and if there's a need for the government to step in and regulate this emerging sector. Also, should these climate analytic and modeling companies be liable for making bad projections…and how can you hold a company liable for a projection that's set decades in the future? Madison also critiques a recent Federal Reserve Bank attempt at stress testing the climate risks for the banking sector. Great conversation on the critical topic of climate modeling! The Federal Reserve "is a climate laggard." What are climate models and what can and can't they do? What is the "climate industrial complex"? How right, is "right" enough when it comes to climate models? Could climate analytic/modeling companies be held liable for bad projections? The role of climate analytic groups like First Street Foundation. Do we need a "National Climate Service" to provide basic climate data? Do adaptation planners understand the role of climate models in their work? Subscribe to the America Adapts newsletter here.

In episode 182 of America Adapts, Doug Parsons host Mark Nevitt, a former Navy Jag and now Law professor at Emory University. Mark shares his insights on the intersection of law and climate change. They discuss how US laws were created during a much more stable climate and how the legal system has not kept up with the current climate moment. The takings clause in the US Constitution is now relevant for climate change and Mark and Doug dig into this issue. Mark also considers his military experience good preparation to get into climate adaptation. We also discuss whether judges should recuse themselves if they are climate skeptics and should we amend the US Constitution to address important adaptation issues. Also, what would happen if the President declared a national emergency around climate change. Join us for this fascinating discussion on the challenges and opportunities at the intersection of law and climate change. Topics covered: · Mark's military background in the Navy and military justice informs his perspective on climate change adaptation. · US laws were created during a time of more stable climate, which poses legal uncertainties for climate adaptation measures. · The takings clause in the US Constitution is relevant to climate change adaptation. · Cities that commit funding for infrastructure are now liable to maintain it, even in the face of long-term climate impacts. · Climate skeptics may pose a challenge to legal decisions in climate adaptation cases, raising questions about judge recusal. · Is there a need to amend the US Constitution to address important adaptation issues? · Without a change in legal doctrine, climate adaptation will default to unmanaged retreat, exacerbating existing inequalities. · A declaration of a national emergency around climate change by the President could help to spur action on climate adaptation. · The 5th Amendment presents challenges for implementing many climate adaptation measures due to its provisions on property rights and compensation.

In episode 180 of America Adapts, Doug Parsons hosts Dr. Eric Chu. Eric shares the challenges of integrating climate curricula into universities and the functions of the UC Davis Climate Adaptation Research Center. We also discuss the importance of working with university students to determine their professional adaptation work needs. We take a closer look at Chapter 12 of the National Climate Assessment (NCA) and discuss why it isn't used more frequently by adaptation professionals. Furthermore, we explore the NCA's efforts to avoid replicating the IPCC report process. We discuss the growing pains that climate equity is going through as Eric highlights the need to define an idealized climate equity goal before we can realistically accomplish it. We also discuss the emptiness of much of the rhetoric surrounding climate equity discussions. Finally, we touch on the fact that adaptation research typically lags behind adaptation practice. Topics Covered: Challenges of bringing climate curricula into a university system. UC Davis' Climate Adaptation Research Center functions. Working with University students to help them determine their professional adaptation work needs. Chapter 12 of the National Climate Assessment and why isn't it used more by adaptation professionals? NCA trying not to replicate the IPCC report process (by being too wordy). Need to define an idealized climate equity goal before we can realistically accomplish it. A lot of climate equity is empty rhetoric. Well intentioned practitioners have no clue what they want. The superficial nature of climate equity discussions. Adaptation research typically is two steps behind adaptation practice Check out the America Adapts Media Kit here! Subscribe to the America Adapts newsletter here.

In episode 179 of America Adapts, I've partnered with World Wildlife Fund to learn the critical role mangrove forests play in coastal adaptation and the work WWF is doing with their Mangroves for Community and Climate project. You'll hear how WWF is applying its three core adaptation strategies: ecosystem-based adaptation, nature-friendly adaptation, and climate-smart conservation. We journeyed to the Yucatán in Mexico to speak with mangrove experts from around the world - Mexico, Madagascar, Colombia, Fiji, Australia and the US – all coming together to share their expertise and knowledge to help mangroves persist in a changing climate. WWF is working to conserve mangroves around the world through various initiatives, including the development of a climate-smart mangrove restoration decision support tool. Finally, we'll hear how WWF's Environment and Disaster Management and Climate Crowd programs are helping communities adapt to climate change while valuing and reducing pressure on the critical ecosystem services that mangroves provide. It's an epic size episode focusing on a critical species for adaptation! Topics covered: Learn about WWF's three core strategies for adaptation. What WWF is doing to conserve mangroves globally. What is the climate-smart mangrove restoration decision support tool. Results of the Mangrove Workshop in Merida, Mexico. How mangroves help reduce risk to coastal flooding and storm surges. What happens to mangroves following a disaster? Some research in Florida, surprisingly, says in some cases mangroves may do more harm than good when we build out in front of them. Do people generally see value in keeping mangroves intact for other reasons besides coastal protection. What is WWF's Climate Crowd program.

In episode 176 of America Adapts, Doug Parsons hosts Dr. Kelly Hereid, the Director Of Catastrophe Research and Development at Liberty Mutual Insurance. Kelly takes us through the tool of catastrophe modeling and explains why it could be useful for adaptation planners. We also learn how the insurance industry tries to make the uncertain nature of hurricanes and climate change more predictable: "Climate translators" play a critical role in this process. They also discuss the wild, wild west nature of the climate data and modeling industry and how to avoid using bad information in your adaptation planning. Doug and Kelly also discuss the unique and controversial role Citizens Property Insurance in Florida plays in coastal planning. Topics covered: What is a 'climate translator'? How the insurance industry makes climate uncertainty more predictable. What is catastrophe modeling and why it should be used in adaptation planning. Making sense of climate predictions set decades in the future. Translating climate impacts into metrics to make on the ground policy decisions. Dissecting hurricanes and climate impacts into sub perils. The Wild, Wild West nature of the climate modeling and data industry. How does Citizens Property Insurance encourage Floridians to make bad housing decisions. Check out the America Adapts Media Kit here! Subscribe to the America Adapts newsletter here.

In episode 165 of America Adapts, Doug Parsons hosts Dr. Katharine Mach. Katharine is a Professor at the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science and is a lead author for the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report. Katharine explains the process of drafting the report; how the media succeeds and fails at communicating the urgency of the report; Doug and Katharine also discuss a need to rethink the role and purpose of the IPCC report to help elevate the urgency of the message it's sending. Katharine also explains a paper on "the concept of risk" she co-authored for the IPCC. In addition, we hear how the University of Miami is bringing adaptation and resilience into its curriculum. Topics covered: IPCC is a grand partnership between the governments of the world. How did the media do in reporting on the IPCC report? The IPCC has zero regulatory authority over sovereign nations. What does it mean to be a lead author for the IPCC. Many developing countries don't have the climate data and experts that developed countries have. How can the IPCC be relevant to adaptation planners in the U.S. Who is the audience for the IPCC report and how do you communicate to different audiences. How can American policymakers make use of the IPCC report. Adaptation education at the University of Miami. Transcripts of this episode here.

Topics covered: This paper was the first highlighting the lack of laws and policies protecting the LGBTQ community in disaster relief. What is the myth of gay affluence? How faith-based groups are on the front lines of disaster relief and how some of them discriminate against the LGBTQ community when providing that relief. The evolution of the word 'queer' and what it means to the LGBTQ community. Examples of discrimination in disaster relief to the LGBTQ community. Is the LGBTQ community a cohesive group? Incorporating language recognizing the LGQBT+ Community would lead to more holistic adaptation planning. Discussion of latest federal executive actions to protect the LGBTQ community. Policy recommendations on how adaptation planners can incorporate the concerns of the LGBTQ community. (Cover photo by Cecilie Johnsen) Sign up for a free two-week trial of Wondrium.
