ICR24: Innovations in Climate Resilience Conference hosted by Battelle
America Adapts the Climate Change Podcast
USAID's Efforts in Addressing Global Challenges
The chapter features a guest from USAID discussing the agency's integrated approach to addressing global issues like development, hunger, poverty, and climate change. They highlight initiatives such as the new climate strategy, Feed the Future program, and investments in research and private sector partnerships to build resilience and adaptation. The chapter underscores the importance of breaking down silos, fostering innovation, and prioritizing equitable impact in tackling complex challenges.
In episode 206 of America Adapts, the podcast partnered with Battelle for their third annual Innovations in Climate Resilience Conference, ICR24. The conference took place April 22-24th in Washington, D.C. at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center. Keynote speakers and attendees join the pod to share their experiences in climate adaptation and also discuss highlights from the conference. The event attracted senior level federal officials along with emerging adaptation professionals from the private sector. The themes of the conference were resilience, mitigation and sustainability and you learn how Battelle, through the conference, is prioritizing adaptation. This is the third ICR and the first to be hosted in the nation’s capital. You’ll also hear from a high school student who won Battelle’s Climate Challenge - the future of adaptation is in good hands. ICR24 isn't just any conference; it's a convergence of minds, bringing together environmental professionals, scientists, researchers, students, and key leaders.
