Why Digitized Crisis Response Management Can Help Build Climate Resilience
12/22/20
“How can digitized crisis response management help build climate resilience?”
Crisis response is a vital part of emergency management. However, often it is hampered down by a lack of efficiency. This can be partially overcome through digitization, in which information flow can happen at a moment’s notice and alert everyone. This is Why Digitized Crisis Response Management Can Help Build Climate Resilience.
Why Grassroots Work Is Necessary for Climate Adaptation
12/21/20
“Why is grassroots work necessary for climate adaptation?”
While much of the talk about climate adaptation is happening on the policy level, it is important to know that it’s going to take boots on the ground to really get things moving. Climate change is going to affect people’s lives in drastic ways, and only by accommodating structures to suit them and getting the word out to the public can we truly move forward as a society. This is Why Grassroots Work Is Necessary for Climate Adaptation.
Climate Adaptation Innovation Zones
12/20/20
“How can we make innovation zones for climate adaptation?”
Municipal governments have made designated research industrial parks to concentrate high-tech companies and spur innovation. The same can be done with climate adaptation organizations in Climate Adaptation Innovation Zones. All that is needed is funding and space for these organizations as well as the talent demand.
Climate Adaptation Messaging
12/19/20
“How should we craft climate adaptation messaging?”
Climate Adaptation is already one of the most important conversations that humanity is having. However, the way it is crafted and sent out to people is important, and if not done properly then will lead to great mishaps. This is why Climate Adaptation Messaging is so important.
Managed Retreat Forums
12/18/20
“How can we host forums for community managed retreat discussions?”
Managed retreat is going to be a large topic in the future. To ensure that these projects are equitable, one tool could be to employ Managed Retreat Forums. These will be open spaces for individuals from the community to come in and voice their concerns about managed retreat. In order to be equitable, these forums must be arranged in a manner so people from all social classes of the community can come and voice their opinions.
Why Oil Dependence is a Resilience Issue
12/17/20
“Why is oil dependence a resilience issue?”
Some countries are dependent on external materials. For many, this resource is oil. What makes oil dependence so killing is that if the supplies stop, the entire country can be shut down, just like the 1970s oil crisis. This is Why Oil Dependence is a Resilience Issue.
Climate Adaptation Fundraising
12/16/20
“How can we establish fundraising for climate adaptation projects?”
Climate change adaptation projects are the backbone of creating physical resilience to new weather conditions. However, none of this can be accomplished without any funding. The way to accomplish this will be to engage in Climate Adaptation Fundraising, whether it be through government funding, private capital investment, or loans. Through this, we can create a sustainable world for all.
Climate Change and National Security
12/15/20
“What is the connection between climate change and national security?”
Climate change is going to be a large driver of many changes in human society. National security is not going to be an exception. The increase in extreme disasters will threaten military bases and malign temperature conditions can cause the internal workings of countries to collapse. This is the connection between Climate Change and National Security.
Climate Change and Historic Site Desecration
12/14/20
“How will climate change desecrate sites of historic significance?”
Climate change is already exacerbating weather events to more extreme levels. The destruction left in its wake will be foreseen everywhere. And one that is likely to be impacted quite greatly is historical sites. Historical sites are often near bodies of water and are built to withstand climates that no longer exist. These make them extremely vulnerable to climate disasters. This is the connection between Climate Change and Historic Site Desecration.
