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 the second of a two part series of America Adapts, Doug Parsons and Tulane Professor, Dr. Jesse Keenan complete their assessment of the Federal Climate Adaptation Plans. Jesse discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the remaining federal agencies' plans. We also discuss National Adaptation Plans and the need for the United States to have one. Currently the U.S. is the only G20 country without a national plan. The first episode in this series is available here. Topics and Adaptation Plans covered: General Service Administration Dept of the Interior Dept. of Justice Dept. of Labor NASA Social Security Administration Dept. of Transportation Dept. of Veterans Affairs Dept. of Treasury Executive Order 14030 Dept. of State PREPARE – President's Emergency Plan for Adaptation and Resilience ($3 Billion collar press release, not much else.). National Adaptation Plan (and the U.S.'s glaring lack of having one). Donate to America Adapts Listen to America Adapts on your favorite app here!
