America Adapts the Climate Change Podcast

The hosts of a new climate adaptation podcast, Resilience: The Global Adaptation Podcast, join the show to talk about international adaptation. Elizabeth Bernhardt and Marcus Neild, from the United Nations' Environment Program, discuss the origins of the podcast and why there's a need to tell more international adaptation stories. Also joining is Laura Schifter of the Aspen Institute who gives an update on the climate curricula initiative, K12 Climate Action. They've just released a new report and we'll hear the status of climate curricula in the country. A great episode, have a listen!

In this episode, Doug Parsons talks with returning guest Alice Hill about her new book, The Fight for Climate After Covid-19. We discuss what inspired her to write the book; how her experiences working on climate change and biodefense during the Obama Presidency informed her thinking; why we need a national adaptation plan; the critical need for political leadership in confronting crises like covid and climate change; and why we should 'marry' climate mitigation in adaptation. Topics covered: What lessons can we learn from Covid-19th in dealing with climate change? We need a national adaptation plan. Why political leadership is absolutely critical in dealing with big issues. We need to 'marry' adaptation and mitigation and have them work together…when possible. Learning about the adaptation profession and what advice Alice can offer professionals in this space. Alice's experiences in the Obama White House and how that informs her adaptation work today.

Doug Parsons hosts Dr. Brandon Collins, an adjunct professor at UC Berkeley and the lead scientist at Berkeley Forests. As wildfires rage in the Western U.S., why are some areas more prone to out of control fires than others? Brandon explains the ecology of western forests and some of the management options to mitigate against these extreme events. We also discuss the growing impact of climate change on these catastrophic fires and why the land management of a hundred years ago is making it harder for these landscapes to adapt to climate change. Topics covered: Some fires permanently damage the ability of the forest to grow back. What's the climate signal in present day wildfires? Can we use controlled burns to avoid the largest, most catastrophic fires? What happens to the land post fire? Are fire impacted forests transitioning into new ecosystems? We need year-round fire crews to prescribe burn in the winter. How emerging infrastructure funding in Congress can help in managing fires. Bonus conversation with Kyle Knappenberger, the Director of Technology & Science at Timilon, that has developed EnviroKlenz, a technology to filter air polluted by fires.

Doug Parsons talks with Dr. V. Kelly Turner, an Assistant Professor of Urban Planning and Geography at the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs. Doug and Kelly discuss: the need to create governance and regulation around extreme heat; decoupling disaster heatwave response to long term planning for it; how can social media amplify disaster messaging; the pros and cons of cool pavements and should we name heat waves. And we also hear about some innovative street art using reflecting paint! Donate to America Adapts Listen to America Adapts on your favorite app here! Topics discussed in this episode: Unintended consequences on using cool pavements in LA. How to we address climate and thermal equity in urban planning? Making heat "visible" to people so they prioritize addressing it. Cool surfaces and art in Los Angeles We need to form a governance structure around dealing with extreme heat (like we do with air and water). Should we regulate heat like a pollutant. We are not framing the threat of heat properly. Chronic heat exposure versus heat event exposure. How does social media amplify the socializing risk theory?

Doug Parsons hosts Alex Harris, a climate reporter with the Miami Herald. Alex, the only reporter dedicated to climate change in the entire southeast, shares what it's like covering climate change in the Miami region. We discuss the importance of local media for adaptation; using the latest science as a reporter; the mega projects Miami is considering to halt flooding and sea level rise; how a nearly decade old Rolling Stone article on climate change still haunts local officials; what happened to the Florida Chief Resilience Officer and why it's so hard to stop using polluting septic tanks in Miami. Topics covered: Being the first climate reporter in the southeast United States Why local media coverage of climate change is so critical. And will adaptation help drive new interest in local media coverage. The challenges of covering private sector adaptation stakeholders. Embedding climate change into topic coverage. Climate justice and equity in the Miami region. Learn how every 5 years, local scientists make sea level rise estimates that local governments plan from. Why is Miami thinking of building a 20-foot wall through Biscayne bay? The lunacy of septic tanks in Miami. What happened to Florida's Chief Resilience Officer? Rolling Stone's Jeff Goodell lives rent free in the minds of local elected officials in Miami. Donate to America Adapts Listen to America Adapts on your favorite app here!

In episode 139 of America Adapts, Doug Parsons hosts two leading adaptation thinkers, Dr. Susanne Moser and Dr. Linda Shi and we discuss a new article they published Transformative Climate Adaptation in the United States: Trends and Prospects. Learn what it is and how it can influence climate equity and justice issues. We also discuss if democratic governments are the best model for transformative adaptation and is the Biden administration prioritizing resilience planning. Also, in a bonus conversation, Judge Alice Hill returns to the podcast to discuss how climate change is not properly included in economic risk planning. Try to imagine a much different world where transformative adaptation can happen. Learn the story behind the articles' publication and how it was rejected in the first journal it was submitted to. Is Democracy the right political model to accomplish transformative adaptation? Is there a role for authoritarian regimes? Is the Green New Deal capable of driving transformative change? How transformative adaptation can promote climate equity and justice. Is the Biden administration prioritizing adaptation (no)? What role is the private sector playing in driving innovative adaptation planning. What role does communication play in driving transformative adaptation? Is the adaptation sector mature enough to create transformative change? Donate to America Adapts Listen to America Adapts on your favorite app here! America Adapts now has a newsletter!

In episode 135, California Adapts part 3, Doug Parsons and writer/producer Randy Olson talk about their overall impressions of climate adaptation in California. Each of the experts interviewed during the journey gave scores from 1 to 10 for their opinion of how well they think the state is addressing their element of climate adaptation. The scores are presented to three of the experts for their assessment. The analysis ends with one more expert - a dissenting voice in terms of how well California is preparing for the changes in the climate that are already happening. What is "climate adaptation" and how well is California doing with it? The podcast "America Adapts" hosted by Doug Parsons has been exploring the topic of climate adaptation since 2016. In this three part special, sponsored by the UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, Doug takes an in-depth look at the state of California, presenting its long history of environmental leadership, current work on adaptation throughout the state, and how California will be dealing with a changing environment in the future.

In episode 134, a re-release, Doug Parsons' journeys around California exploring the five most important elements of climate adaptation for the state — fire, drought, flood, temperature and sea level rise. For each one he goes into the field with an expert. He visits the burn area of the Thomas Fire of December 2017 with a fire captain, talks about drought with the state's "Water Czar," standing beside the Sacramento River, hears the details of the ARkStorm Mega-flood Scenario from a climate scientist, follows an urban heat expert using a laser thermometer to measure the temperature of asphalt in Los Angeles, and visits the central coast of California to talk about sea level rise. The five sequences provide an overview of climate adaptation for the state. What is "climate adaptation" and how well is California doing with it?

In episode 132 of America Adapts, Doug Parsons hosts Andrew Rumbach, Associate Professor of Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning at Texas A&M University and faculty fellow at the Hazard Reduction and Recovery Center. The two discuss the similarities (and differences) between the two fields. Andrew shares research, looking at historic resources vulnerabilities to climate change and we learn the unique role mobile homes play in determining a community's overall resistance to climate and weather threats. That and much more! Topics covered: What is hazard mitigation. How it relates (and doesn't) to climate adaptation. Historic preservation and hazard mitigation and case studies. Research on flooding in Colorado and the risk to historic resources. Why does there appear to be a division between hazard mitigation and climate adaptation? Why does hazard mitigation ignore extreme heat? Or does it? How does emergency management fit in all this? How mobile homes are a canary in the coal mine if you're doing adaptation correctly. The potential use of FEMA grants to help provide educational opportunities for those populations most impacted by hazards. Donate to America Adapts Listen to America Adapts on your favorite app here!

In episode 128 of America Adapts, Doug Parsons hosts Dr. Carolyn Kousky, the Executive Director at the Wharton Risk Management and Decision Processes Center at the University of Pennsylvania. Carolyn has developed 8 recommendations for the incoming Biden administration to prioritize climate adaptation. We go through each of the recommendations, which cover topics ranging from disaster preparedness, strengthening our infrastructure to utilizing nature based approaches to adaptation. The recommendations are a timely and important contribution as President Biden begins his efforts to mitigate AND adapt to climate change. 8 Recommendations for Climate Resilience: Provide just disaster mitigation and assistance. Make recovery easier. Improve the financial resilience of households, small businesses, and communities. Annually fund actions to lower our risk. Rebuild for the future, not the past. Strengthen our infrastructure. Harness nature for risk reduction. Pay for resilience investments by fighting climate change and inequality.
