Climate Fiction
12/04/20
“Why exactly will climate change fiction be so important?”
Fiction is a very popular past time for many people of all ages. Often times, it reflects the reality that we live in. With the advent of climate change, we are starting to see the explosion of popularity of Climate Fiction. Climate fiction will allow us to realize the potential future that we may live in and how we will need to adapt.
Climate Migration Modeling
12/03/20
“How can we model climate migration?”
Climate migration is going to become a more important topic in the coming years as less land becomes habitable due to extreme heat, sea-level rise, and wildfires. To project how these changes will occur, Climate Migration Modeling can be undertaken by taking in climatic changes and economic drivers and seeing how demography will play out. This will be especially important for urban planners so they can design cities based on how many people will arrive or leave.
Adaptation Project Foreclosure
12/02/20
“What happens when an entity can’t pay its debts for an adaptation project?”
Numerous adaptation projects are able to come to life because they were financed through some form of bond. However, if the entity that took out the bond is unable to keep up with its debts, then its project assets could be repossessed. Adaptation Project Foreclosure holds the potential to become a serious problem in the future and equity groups will need to take note.
Green Bonds for Climate Adaptation
12/01/20
“How can we use green bonds for climate adaptation?”
Green bonds are bonds that are available for organizations and municipalities to do sustainability projects. While adaptation projections are usually excluded from these, if they are combined with mitigation benefits then they may become eligible. This is how Green Bonds for Climate Adaptation can work out!
