Conflicts can destroy the electrical grids of countries. However, this can be used as an opportunity to build a much better one. This is why Electrical Grid Redesign After Conflict is so important.
Women-Centric Climate Finance
04/04/22
“Why do we need to have woman-centric climate finance?”
Climate change is going to exacerbate the existing sexist world order. Women will be expected to take care of children during disasters, will be stripped of work during economic downturns first, and will be deprived of leadership opportunities by the patriarchy. To remedy this, we must develop Women-Centric Climate Finance that funds work by women for women.
Divesting from Governments and Organizations That Engage in Climate Change Denialism
04/03/22
“Why should we think about divesting from governments and organizations that engage in climate denialism?”
Climate denialism is rampant in society. Even worse, some governments and organizations promote this harmful falsehood. Since engaging with these parties is unethical, one way to pressure them to change course is to engage in boycotts. Eventually, enough social and economic damage will be done so they have to yield. This is why Divesting From Governments and Organizations That Engage in Climate Change Denialism works.

“How can we ensure food security in times of war?”
When war breaks out, food security can be one of the things to be first hit, whether it’s a country being invaded or supply chains being disrupted. To ensure that a nation can feed its citizens, it can look into multiple strategies, such as encouraging self-reliance for agricultural production, engaging in fair trade policies, and innovating new ways to make food. This is how communities and governments can go around Ensuring Food Security in Times of War.

Why Practicing Rescuing People From Collapsed Buildings is Good Preparation for Both Climate Change and War
03/30/22
“Why is rescuing people from collapsed buildings good preparation for both climate change and war?”
When buildings collapse, people may become stuck underneath. These people will need to be rescued by special teams. Since buildings are more likely to collapse with the advent of climate change and in wartime, practicing these techniques is great preparation. This will be especially important as climate change holds the potential to exacerbate conditions for open conflict. This is Why Practicing Rescuing People From Collapsed Buildings is Good Preparation for Both Climate Change and War.

Why Making Stronger, More Climate Adapted Buildings Can Make Them Better at Surviving Warfare
03/29/22
“How can making buildings stronger against climate change also make them better at surviving warfare?”
Climate change is forcing buildings to become sturdier to the effects of climate change through hardening. This will make the edifices tougher, which could then prove useful when protecting civilians from bombings or gunfire. This is Why Making Stronger, More Climate Adapted Buildings Can Make Them Better at Surviving Warfare.

Using Digitized Learning to Teach Refugees New Languages
03/28/22
“How can we use digitized learning technologies to teach refugees new languages?”
Refugees often have to move to places where their native language is not spoken. This can create additional barriers to finding employment and connecting with the greater community. However, digital learning strategies can make language learning easier, allowing for refugees to live easier lives. This is how we can plan on Using Digitized Learning to Teach Refugees New Languages.
