America Adapts the Climate Change Podcast

In episode 209 of America Adapts, I attended the Waterfront Conference in New York City hosted by the Waterfront Alliance. The conference took place at the Museum of Jewish Heritage in lower Manhattan. In this episode, you'll hear from state and local government officials talking about how they do coastal climate adaptation. We'll also have insights from private sector companies who are leading the way in shovel-ready adaptation projects, essential for the next phase for the adaptation sector. Attendees were not just talking about adaptation—they've created templates and programs with broad applications. The Alliance's WEDG national adaptation program is another innovative initiative that we'll highlight, showing how it's paving the way for resilient communities. You'll also learn how 3D printing technology is used to create artificial reefs and seawalls. We'll also discuss private sector national funding efforts that are driving these shovel-ready adaptations and a new, massive New York State grant program for adaptation. The City of New York's climate justice efforts are also front, and center and we'll dive into the concept of a cloudburst and how cities can manage these intense rainfall events. Yes, we cover a lot of ground in this episode! https://www.americaadapts.org/episodes/waterfront-conference-designing-for-tomorrow-the-multisector-approach-to-climate-adaptation-with-the-waterfront-alliance Experts in this Episode: Cortney Koenig Worrall – President and CEO, Waterfront Alliance Suzanna Randall - Chief Resiliency Officer NYS Department of Environmental Conservation Joseph Sutkowi - Chief Waterfront Design Officer, Waterfront Alliance Karen Appell - VP, Climate Change Lead, AECOM Tyler Taba – Director of Resilience, Waterfront Alliance Elijah Hutchinson - Executive Director, NYC Mayor's Office of Climate and Environmental Justice (MOCEJ) Carly Foster - Water Management Practice Director, Arcadis Maor Bezner – Chief Technology Officer, Econcrete Mason Sears - VP.

In episode 208 of America Adapts, Mark Nevitt, an associate professor of law at Emory University joins the podcast to discuss his new paper that's under review, entitled, Destroy, Rebuild, Repeat: How to Break the Climate Disaster Cycle. Mark delves into the expansion of climate change law courses and his research on the security implications of climate change. He discusses his articles highlighting legal challenges in climate adaptation and introduces his new article focusing on breaking the climate disaster cycle. Mark emphasizes the importance of democratizing climate risk information and proactive measures like managed retreat. He explores legal liabilities in climate adaptation, the semantics of resilience, and the significance of accurate terminology in conveying climate risks. It's a packed legally episode along with Doug's 'Hot Take'! Transcript of this episode available here. Topics covered: The Legal Crisis Within the Climate Crisis Emory's Climate Research Initiative Flying Navy Jets and Legal Scholarship Destroy, Rebuild, Repeat: Overview Democratizing Climate Risk Information The Adaptation Paradox Holding Individuals Responsible for Climate Risk Decisions Adaptation vs. Resilience Semantics Quotes from the episode: Mark Nevitt: The National Flood Insurance Program is essentially a massive program to subsidize sandcastles. That is in place. It's a classic moral hazard where the people who are benefiting from the program are not fully invested in all the risks associated with it. It's heavily subsidized. My central argument in that article is that just as we have a climate crisis, and most of your listeners are aware of that, we also have legal doctrines, statutes that have not really kept up with our climate destabilized world. Doug Parsons: And so you're proposing an entirely new framework. To break this cycle of destroy, repealed, rebuild, repeat. …we've got to hold people responsible even today decisions that are going to be happening in the next few years, because we won't ever be able to afford this because 10 years from now.

In episode 207 of America Adapts, Dr. Kelly Turner of UCLA and Dr. Ladd Keith at the University of Arizona join host Doug Parsons to discuss groundbreaking work in extreme heat governance and planning, specifically focusing on the recent NOAA grant awarded to launch the Center for Heat Resilient Communities. The grant aims to enhance heat resilience in communities by encouraging connections between stakeholders and the federal government, with a heavy emphasis on climate justice and environmental justice as part of President Biden's Justice40 initiative. The discussion also covers federally funded research programs supporting rural and tribal communities with heat resilience, mapping shade equity nationally, and initiatives on indoor cooling. Kelly and Ladd encourage involvement in the field of heat policy and governance, inviting individuals to reach out and engage with the three year project. Topics covered: NOAA Grant Overview Biden Administration's Role Principals and Key Partners/Community Partnerships Heat Resilient Communities Framework Evaluating Heat Resilience Policies Training Future Heat Leaders Funding and Support for Communities Climate and Environmental Justice Media Coverage of Extreme Heat Plug for Other Research Programs for Kelly and Ladd Call to Action: Visit heat.gov Principal Researchers for the Grant: Dr. V. Kelly Turner, UCLA (lead) Dr. Ladd Keith, University of Arizona Dr. Sara Meerow, Arizona State University Transcript of episode available here. Quotes from the episode: Dr. Kelly Turner: Really, there are two main goals. One is to to create a robust framework across a diverse set of contexts that communities could use to do heat resilience work. And so we have a series of six cores that the whole center is organized around. So the first goal is for us to create this framework. And the second goal is to then fund and to support communities. So 10 communities per year over three years to test that framework and refine it. And I could get into a little bit about each one of the cores if that's of interest. Dr. Ladd Keith And we'll be co-developing essentially this heat resilient framework that the communities will be going through. And it involves all the cores and is really focused on supporting heat action planning at the local level and really drawing on that network of experts that we have involved in the center. I think one of the exciting things is we'll be co-developing this heat resilient framework with the communities that we're working with. And of Of course, we'll be supporting the initial 30 communities, but we'll also be putting a lot of that information on heat.gov so that it's accessible to all of the other 19,000 communities in the United States. And another part of it that's really exciting is all of the lessons that we're going to learn through the center is feeding that back to federal agencies and really partnering with them so they know how to better support community heat planning as well.

The podcast discusses highlights from the Innovations in Climate Resilience Conference hosted by Battelle, featuring keynote speakers, NOAA's contributions, and USAID's global efforts. Topics include climate mapping tools, finance considerations, community resilience, and youth perspectives on climate resilience.

Investigative climate reporter Abrahm Lustgarten discusses climate-driven migration in the US, covering water scarcity, sea level rise, and wildfires. He explores how communities are preparing for climate impacts, the winners and losers of climate migration, media coverage, and potential government interventions. The podcast provides a unique insight into the challenges faced by those living in climate impact zones.

In episode 204 of America Adapts, Doug Parsons hosts Bill Weir, the Chief Climate Correspondent at CNN. Bill shares his insights into how climate change now intersects with every aspect of our lives, transforming all beats into climate beats. Drawing from his experiences covering climate stories, he emphasizes the power of storytelling. We delve into the inspiration behind his book, "Life As We Know It," which looks at positive climate stories all inspired by the birth of his son. Critiquing mainstream media's coverage of climate change, he calls for a shift towards highlighting adaptation and innovation over sensational disasters. Bill unveils his upcoming special, "Adaptation Nation," and shares the joys and challenges of interviewing icons like Paul McCartney. Bill will leave you with some practical advice on how you can bring climate communication into the important adaptation work you're doing. Join us as we explore the interconnectedness of climate with our lives and the transformative power of storytelling in shaping our collective response to the greatest challenge of our time. Topics covered: Embracing the Climate Beat The Human Element of Climate Stories Inspiring Innovations in Climate Adaptation Life Lessons Through Earth Day Letters The Aftermath of the Paradise Fire Challenging Assumptions in Climate Adaptation The Complexities of Water Management in Arizona The Media's Role in Climate Change Communication The Importance of Climate Adaptation Professionals Practical Insights for Adaptation Practitioners Interviewing Paul McCartney Recommendation: Sid Kitson, Developer of Babcock Ranch Quotes: Bill Weir: "We're all going to be climate reporters." "I'm an omnivore, but when they created a climate desk at CNN, it occurred to me that this is the beat that includes all the other beats." "This is not the earth systems of your grandfather anymore. And all of these stories are connected. So oftentimes I'm, yelling at my TV set while there's some sort of a cataclysmic, something's happening somewhere that is getting national attention. And I'm just like, say it, stay the words, say the words, climate change!" Check out the America Adapts Media Kit here! Subscribe to the America Adapts newsletter here.

In episode 203 of America Adapts, Doug Parsons hosts Dr. Justin Mankin. Justin is a climate scientist and associate professor at Dartmouth College. Doug and Justin discuss his provocative column in the New York Times on climate data accessibility – should tax funded climate data remain a public good. Justin also explains the intricacies of climate modeling and the ethical considerations of private sector involvement. Justin also emphasizes the significance of aligning private and public sector efforts for effective climate adaptation. Doug and Justin discuss the importance of having a National Adaptation Plan and Justin also highlights the work of his students in climate impact attribution and loss and damage research. America Adapts is increasingly covering the issue of climate data and modeling and in this thought providing discussion, we learn about the ethical considerations of privatizing a public good. Topics covered: Understanding Climate Models The Right to Climate Data Legal Implications of Climate Data Accuracy Interaction with Private Sector on Climate Science Free Climate Models vs. Paid Models Importance of National Adaptation Plan National Resilience Framework vs. National Adaptation Plan Dr. Mankin's Student Research Projects Recommendation for Future Guest: Erin Mayfield and Klaus Keller Quotes: Dr. Justin Mankin: "I think there's a gigantic gap between the science I do and the decision relevance of it." "My investigations, which are fundamentally about informing adaptation and risk management of climate change that science is paid for,? And to the extent that science is linked back to people's tax dollars. I have an absolute imperative to communicate my science to whoever will listen." "And that means that a national adaptation plan would establish minimal require informational requirements and make those data to inform adaptation decisions available to people in a legible format, right?"

We're taking you behind the scenes to understand what it truly means to take a research idea, secure funding, and see it through to real-world applications in the field. SERDP is actively exploring ways to expedite this process. Throughout this episode, you'll hear from a diverse range of voices – university researchers, DoD staff, policy experts, and those actively working in climate adaptation.
