Welcome back to the America Adapts newsletter, our community for those involved in the climate adaptation space (and those curious to learn more!).
In episode 196 America Adapts, I partnered with the Climate Science Alliance to cover their Climate Science Summit at the San Diego Natural History Museum. Experts, speakers and participants from the Summit are highlighted in the episode. We kicked things off with Dr. Amber Paris of the Alliance setting the stage for the Alliance’s approach to transformational adaptation, emphasizing community-centered approaches, resilience, and relationship building. Multiple tribal voices shared the importance of indigenous approaches to climate adaptation. You’ll also hear how art and culture play a critical role in how society is going to adapt to the impacts of climate change. Looking ahead, the Alliance aspires to build on their momentum, encouraging others to adopt their transformational adaptation model and fostering partnerships. Amber is an old friend and it was a treat covering the amazing work they're doing in southern California.
Transcripts available here.
Upcoming episodes:
- Buckle up! Dr. Jesse Keenan of Tulane University returns to the podcast to provide an analysis of President Biden's recently launched National Climate Resilience Framework and also of the recently published National Climate Assessment 5. Stay tuned!
- I attended the The Department of Defense's (DoD) Energy and Environment Innovation Symposium in late November interviewing adaptation experts in attendance. That episode should be out in the New Year!
- Battelle’s third annual Innovations in Climate Resilience Conference (ICR24) takes place on April 22-24, 2024, in Washington, DC. and I'll be covering it like I did for their ICR23 in Columbus, Ohio last spring! You can still submit a presentation idea here!
