Podcasts about climate change adaptation

Each day, every single person in the United States, all 324 million, discards about five pounds of waste. Be it a bottle that gets placed in a recycling bin or a piece of paper crumpled and tossed into the waste bin, every bit of the daily 1.6 billion pounds cast-off has a story. Everyone's Trash: One Man Against 1.6 Billion Pounds (Peter E. Randall Publisher, 2024) is full of those stories. It will wake you up and give you hope. As the author, Duncan Watson, says, "More people in America recycle than vote. Recycling is more popular than Democracy!" Watson began his personal trash journey in his pre-teens as an attendant at a small municipal recycling center in Northern California. After a brief stint as a child voice actor for Charlie Brown, he spent several years wandering the resource management desert looking for a better paying gig. He has been a restaurateur in his family's restaurant, and done a number of other stints in the hospitality arena. He has worked at the US EPA, and for the last 30 + years worked for the City of Keene. NH's Dept. of Public Works. During that time, he was honored with a Recycler of the Year Award and he was also inducted into the “Hall of Fame” by the Northeast Resource Recovery Association. He has also spent many years on the Board of that regional cooperative market for recyclables. He did receive a master's degree in Resource Management and Administration from Antioch New England Graduate School. Professor Michael Simpson has been the Director of the Resource Management and Administration graduate program at Antioch University New England, in Keene, NH.  Currently, he is participating in the Circular and Low Carbon (CALC) project, in conjunction with International Sold Waste Association and the City of Rotterdam, NL. Also, he teaches graduate courses at Antioch University in Energy and Materials Management, Climate Change Adaptation and Political Economy. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of 21st Century Water, we sit down with John J. Entsminger, General Manager of the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) and the Las Vegas Valley Water District. John oversees the water supply for 2.5 million residents and 40 million visitors annually in one of the most water-stressed regions of the United States. He shares his journey from environmental law to leading a major water utility and highlights the pivotal moments that shaped his approach to water management, including the 2002 Colorado River drought and the 2007-2009 recession.John explains the vast scale of SNWA's infrastructure, from its 250 miles of massive pipelines to the 7,000 miles of distribution lines in the Las Vegas Valley Water District. With climate change and cybersecurity as the biggest challenges facing water utilities, he emphasizes how SNWA has aggressively tackled conservation. Through innovative measures like removing non-functional turf, enforcing watering schedules, and deploying water enforcement officers, Southern Nevada has added 800,000 people since 2002 while reducing total water consumption by 35-40%.We discuss the importance of strategic investments, including a $1.5 billion low-lake-level pumping station at Lake Mead, designed purely for redundancy to secure supply. John also shares insights into international and interstate water negotiations, where he has played a key role in agreements involving the seven Colorado River Basin states and Mexico. He highlights the delicate balance of ensuring every party “loses” just enough to reach a compromise that sustains long-term water management.A key advantage for Las Vegas is its ability to recycle nearly 100% of indoor water use. Thanks to its unique geography, all wastewater is treated and returned to Lake Mead, allowing for legal return flow credits. The city's only significant water losses come from outdoor irrigation, evaporative cooling, and septic systems, which SNWA is actively addressing. John also discusses their use of innovative leak detection technology, AI-powered predictive maintenance, and automated metering to enhance efficiency.One remarkable case study is how SNWA worked with Formula 1 to make the Las Vegas Grand Prix the first net-positive water race in history. By offsetting race-related water use with an atmospheric water generator installed at MGM, the event saved more water than it consumed. John sees AI playing an increasing role in optimizing pipeline maintenance and customer leak detection, making conservation even more effective.Another is the building 54 weirs, which are erosion-controlled structures to slow down the water. And over the last 20 years, the number one source of materials for those weirs is imploded old casinos.As we wrap up, John reflects on his legacy, emphasizing pragmatism and the importance of speaking truth to power. His leadership has positioned Southern Nevada as a global model for water conservation and resilience, proving that even in the face of extreme scarcity, strategic planning and innovation can secure a sustainable water future.More: Las Vegas Valley Water District: https://www.lvvwd.com/Southern Nevada Water Authority: https://www.snwa.com/ Aquasight Website: https://aquasight.io/

IFPRI Policy Seminar The Unjust Climate: Measuring the impacts of climate change on rural poor, women, and youth Co-organized by IFPRI, Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and Gender, Climate Change and Nutrition Integration Initiative (GCAN) June 18, 2024 9:30 – 11:00 am (America/New York) 3:30 – 5:00 pm (Europe/Amsterdam) 7:00 – 8:30 pm (Asia/Kolkata) More intense and frequent climate events are increasingly disrupting agriculture-based livelihoods, with disproportionate effects on marginalized groups, including women farmers. Yet there is a lack of empirical research on the adverse effects of these extreme weather events, making it even more challenging to build smallholders' resilience and address rising gender inequalities. In a recent report, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations quantified the negative impacts of certain extreme climate events on poor rural households. The report, which included contributions from the International Food Policy Research Institute's Gender, Climate Change and Nutrition Integration Initiative (https://www.ifpri.org/project/g-can-gender-responsive-and-climate-resilient-agriculturefor-nutrition), found that both floods and heat stress have already widened the income gap between poor and non-poor households by US$20 billion a year. Among other findings, it also showed that each day with extremely high temperatures reduces the total value of crops produced by women farmers by 3 percent relative to men. Please join us to discuss key results from the report and hear from policymakers, practitioners, and partners on how they are working to generate relevant evidence and make a difference on the ground.

CGIAR SEMINAR SERIES Post COP28 Priorities for Advancing Food Systems Transformation Co-organized by IFPRI, CGIAR, and Germany's Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) MAR 27, 2024 - 9:30 TO 11:00AM EDT / 14:30 TO 16:00 CET Held in 2023, the planet's hottest year on record, COP28 has been heralded for its strong focus on food systems, which are simultaneously threatened by and contribute to climate change. The COP28 Declaration on Sustainable Agriculture, Resilient Food Systems and Climate Action, albeit non-binding, but endorsed by almost 160 countries, emphasizes the transformative potential of agriculture and food systems in responding to climate change and ensuring global food security. Insufficient climate finance represents a significant barrier to achieving climate-resilient and low-emission food systems. Given that smallholders produce the majority of the global food supply, special attention to their finance needs is critical. As the fifth policy seminar in the CGIAR series on Strengthening Food Systems Resilience, this virtual event will take stock of food systems–related outcomes from COP28 and outline priorities for advancing them at both the international and country level in a concrete and meaningful manner. Please join a distinguished set of speakers from CGIAR, international organizations, and the policy community for this discussion on advancing both adaptation and mitigation of food systems, which will place a particular focus on climate finance and policy priorities.

Professor Richard Kingsford explores the millions of individual impacts of climate change. 

Clare's Green Party Senator believes a programme of works due to be carried out on this county's roads will help to prepare them for future weather events brought on by climate change. The Minister for Transport has this week announced an investment package worth €658 million to bring local and regional roads to required standards with Clare receiving €43.5 million of this allocation. Over €725,000 has been put towards Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience Works for roads and bridges in Clare impacted by extreme weather, with a number of projects set to benefit including St. Brigid's Well in Liscannor, Poulaforia flood alleviation works and road edge protection at Lisbareen in Bodyke. Inagh Green Party Senator Róisín Garvey is hopeful the damage caused to many roads by extreme weather events can be rectified by the works.

Given the existential threat that rising sea levels and increasing extreme weather events pose to their communities, Pacific Island nations have been some of the most vocal advocates for climate action and, more specifically, an end to fossil fuel production. Australia has an imperative to take action on the threat fossil fuel expansion poses and to commit adequate climate funding to address underlying vulnerabilities of Pacific Island nations and strengthen the resilience and security of the region as a whole.

A conversation with Vanatu's climate change minister about building a coalition within the United Nations (UN) to request an advisory opinion on climate change from the International Court of Justice (ICJ). An advisory opinion could help provide clarity on how existing international laws can be applied to strengthen action on climate change, protect people and the environment, and save the Paris Agreement.  To find out more about the ICJ initiative and its potential impact on climate action, Anna speaks to His Excellency Ralph Regenvanu, Vanuatu's Minister of Climate Change Adaptation, Meteorology and Geo-Hazards, Energy, Environment and Disaster Risk Management.

Adapting for climate change may not as economically costly as both supporters and opponents of decisive action have long supposed. That's according to a new Turning Point report out today from the corporate consultants at Deloitte. Among the findings is the claim that adapting for climate change could add $64 billion to the New Zealand economy by 2040. Inadequate action, on the other hand, could cost the economy $4.4 billion over the same period. Deloitte economics director Liza Van Der Merwe spoke to Corin Dann. 

Today's episode is part of our Seminar Series, in which we facilitate discussions on work conducted by teams of academic researchers and practitioners that relates to one of four thematic topics: 1) Crime Reduction & Police Accountability, 2) Climate Change Governance, 3) Displacement, Migration, & Integration, and 4) Democracy, Conflict, & Polarization.This episode focuses on Climate Change Governance, presenting a conversation between Paul Ferraro (Johns Hopkins) and EGAP member Tara Slough (NYU). Prof. Ferraro's research incorporates insights in the behavioral sciences into the design of interventions and measures program effects on the environment and human welfare. We ask him about four recent experiments that evaluate several climate change adaptation interventions in both Costa Rica and in the United States.

In episode 179 of America Adapts, I've partnered with World Wildlife Fund to learn the critical role mangrove forests play in coastal adaptation and the work WWF is doing with their Mangroves for Community and Climate project.   You'll hear how WWF is applying its three core adaptation strategies:  ecosystem-based adaptation, nature-friendly adaptation, and climate-smart conservation. We journeyed to the Yucatán in Mexico to speak with mangrove experts from around the world - Mexico, Madagascar, Colombia, Fiji, Australia and the US – all coming together to share their expertise and knowledge to help mangroves persist in a changing climate. WWF is working to conserve mangroves around the world through various initiatives, including the development of a climate-smart mangrove restoration decision support tool. Finally, we'll hear how WWF's Environment and Disaster Management and Climate Crowd programs are helping communities adapt to climate change while valuing and reducing pressure on the critical ecosystem services that mangroves provide. It's an epic size episode focusing on a critical species for adaptation! Topics covered: Learn about WWF's three core strategies for adaptation. What WWF is doing to conserve mangroves globally. What is the climate-smart mangrove restoration decision support tool. Results of the Mangrove Workshop in Merida, Mexico. How mangroves help reduce risk to coastal flooding and storm surges.  What happens to mangroves following a disaster?  Some research in Florida, surprisingly, says in some cases mangroves may do more harm than good when we build out in front of them. Do people generally see value in keeping mangroves intact for other reasons besides coastal protection. What is WWF's Climate Crowd program.

We wouldn't expect someone to be able to run a bank or do surgery unless we trained them to do it. So why do we think we can "magically" adapt to climate change when we haven't taught people how? Workers across every nook and cranny of society need to learn what climate change adaptation is, how it affects their jobs and what they can do to tackle it.That's why Vivian Forssman, Robin Cox and the team at the Adaptation Learning Network (now CanAdapt) at Royal Roads University in  British Columbia decided to spend almost 4 years of their lives figuring out how to teach Canadian workers to address adaptation. Though they had a pretty straightforward plan to identify core competencies and develop some courses, they soon found themselves having to find new ways to "do" higher education as they navigated a world disrupted by COVID, JEDI, reconciliation, and a looming recession. In this episode, Vivian shares her story about how they wrangled unforeseen challenges and developed deep insights that are now informing work to educate professionals across Canada, including the entire civil service. Read the Adaptation Learning Network's final report, discover the future of this work and find out more about climate change adaptation educational opportunities. ***If you like this episode, please subscribe, like and share it with your networks.

In Threatening Dystopias: The Global Politics of Climate Change Adaptation in Bangladesh (Cornell UP, 2021), Kasia Paprocki challenges two well-worn assumptions about climate change and its relationship with the political economy of development and agriculture, in Bangladesh, which helps shed light on how climate change becomes a politically contested category, in countries across the Global South. The first, is that climate change is simply a contemporary phenomenon without a longer history embedded in the ecology, economics, politics, and social relations in the region. Second, that climate change is the driver of the increased vulnerability of large swaths of the Bangladeshi population, like the community she closely follows in Khulna, in the southwestern part of the country. Through fine-grained ethnographic and archival detail, Paprocki engages with developers, policy makers, scientists, farmers, and rural migrants to show how Bangladeshi and global elites ignore the history of landscape transformation and its attendant conflicts in advancing certain ‘climate adaptation' agendas, which have dire consequences for the most marginalized.  She looks at how groups craft economic narratives and strategies that redistribute power and resources away from peasant communities. Although these groups claim that increased production of export commodities will reframe the threat of climate change into an opportunity for economic development and growth, the reality is not so simple. For the country's rural poor, these promises ring hollow. As development dispossesses the poor from agrarian livelihoods, outmigration from peasant communities leads to precarious existences in urban centers. And a vision of development in which urbanization and export-led growth are both desirable and inevitable is not one the land and its people can sustain. Threatening Dystopias shows how a powerful rural movement, although hampered by an all-consuming climate emergency, is seeking climate justice in Bangladesh.

Through fine-grained ethnographic and archival detail, Paprocki engages with developers, policy makers, scientists, farmers, and rural migrants to show how Bangladeshi and global elites ignore the history of landscape transformation and its attendant conflicts in advancing certain ‘climate adaptation' agendas, which have dire consequences for the most marginalized.  She looks at how groups craft economic narratives and strategies that redistribute power and resources away from peasant communities. Although these groups claim that increased production of export commodities will reframe the threat of climate change into an opportunity for economic development and growth, the reality is not so simple. For the country's rural poor, these promises ring hollow. As development dispossesses the poor from agrarian livelihoods, outmigration from peasant communities leads to precarious existences in urban centers. And a vision of development in which urbanization and export-led growth are both desirable and inevitable is not one the land and its people can sustain. Threatening Dystopias shows how a powerful rural movement, although hampered by an all-consuming climate emergency, is seeking climate justice in Bangladesh.

Hello everyone - Namaste! *Please listen to EP 2.3 Pakistan Floods before listening to this episode* Cities worldwide are witnessing an increase in the frequency, intensity, and impact of flooding. This increase can be attributed to climate change, sea level rise, changing weather patterns, rapid urbanization and a combination of these factors. Climate Change Adaptation strategies today must be prioritized to mitigate the effects of such extreme flooding events to increase resilience. Though a relatively new term (not a concept?), nature-based solutions (NbS) are gradually being introduced and integrated into flood risk management. In the first part of Episode 4, we speak with World Resources Institute (WRI) India's Kartiki Naik (Program Manager with the Urban Development team under the Sustainable Cities and Transport program) and Sahil Kanekar (Senior Program Associate with the Urban Development team under the Sustainable Cities and Transport program). We explore ideas around flood defense, community resilience, NbS, and the gap in the NbS literature in the Global North and the Global South. We will see you next month with another episode!
