Despite the global scale of the climate crisis, its impacts will vary drastically at the local level. Not Cool Episode 15 looks at the unique struggles facing different communities — both human and non-human — and the importance of equity in climate adaptation. Ariel is joined by Astrid Caldas, a senior climate scientist at the Union of Concerned Scientists, to discuss the types of climate adaptation solutions we need and how we can implement them. She also talks about biodiversity loss, ecological grief, and psychological barriers to change. Topics discussed include: -Climate justice and equity in climate adaptation -How adaptation differs for different communities -Local vs. larger scale solutions -Potential adaptation measures and how to implement them -Active vs. passive information -Adaptation for non-human species -How changes in biodiversity will affect humans -Impact of climate change on indigenous and front line communities
Astrid Caldas is a climate change scientist at the Union of Concerned Scientists. During this podcast episode, she explains some of the best practices to get communities and politicians engaged and listening about climate change. In this episode, Astrid says that" [ We ] need to talk science in ways that speak to people, like about people's health, people's pocketbooks, people's core values, there's always something that will touch people." and check out our show links at www.publichealthunited.org and follow us on Twitter, Instagram Facebook at PHUscicomm and drscicomm.

In this audio interview, Astrid Caldas, senior climate scientist with the Union of Concerned Scientists, explains that organization's research regarding climate change and sea level rise. Caldas talks about how the union determined when and where potential "chronic inundation" caused by frequent tidal flooding could occur in Florida and why the public should be aware of its findings.
Large parts of Texas, Louisiana, Florida, and the Caribbean are on the long road to recovery following the devastation of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. What is the role of climate change in the size and frequency of these storms…and what can we expect in the future? Dr. Astrid Caldas is a senior climate scientist with the Union of Concerned Scientists. Autumn is arriving for much of the US and for many, it's time to get out the rakes and pile those leaves and cart them off (or burn them, as some still do). But is it better to just leave them where they are? It'll save you the hassle but it also might be better for your lawn and the environment. We're joined by Sam Bauer, a professor with the University of Minnesota's Turfgrass Science Program.
