🌪️New episode of America Adapts! We take a real-time look at FEMA — what’s breaking, what’s actually working, and where things might go next. I’m joined by: Joel Scata (NRDC) Michael Coen (former #FEMA Chief of Staff) Samantha Medlock (former FEMA Assistant Administrator) Derrick Hiebert (AECOM)

Thanks for the plug!

Great #climaterisk episode here if you haven't listened. @keenanclimate.com has some good advice - adaptation communication isn't just on bluesky starter packs. Talk to people. Have found this super useful here in CA.

New #podcast is out now: The Federal Climate Retreat and the Rise of a New Adaptation Ecosystem 🌎 As federal climate leadership pulls back, a new ecosystem of adaptation services are stepping up! 🔧📊 Conversations with Climate.us, EcoAdapt, Georgetown Climate Center, Probable Futures🌟 🎧 Listen!

🌊 Unmanaged Retreat 🌎 Isle de Jean Charles was supposed to show us how to move communities out of harm’s way. Instead, it became a tangle of politics, confusion & broken promises. Reporter Terry Jones joins me to unpack what really happened. 🎧 Have a listen! #ClimateAdaptation #ManagedRetreat

🌍🎙️ Re-release! @katharinemach.bsky.social joins me to unpack how the @ipcc.bsky.social really works—and how the media both succeeds and fails to tell its story. With the Trump admin dismantling the National Climate Assessment, the IPCC’s role matters more than ever. 🎧 #IPCC #climatechnae

New (unusual) America Adapts #podcast: #ClimateChange & Human Mobility — rebroadcast from the @ccst.us series I moderated. We unpack “climate havens,” how climate stress can raise civil war risk, and why NAPs must plan for mobility. Listen here!

Interested in the impact of climate change on transborder migration? I was part of an interesting online seminar yday w UCSD's Barbara Walter & Stanford's Helene Benveniste hosted by California Council on Science and Technology moderated by @americaadapts.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlsO...

Twenty years after Katrina, what is fixed? What is still broken? Where are we headed? I joined @americaadapts.bsky.social to discuss these questions and the work we are doing at the @urbaninstitute.bsky.social on disasters, recovery and community resilience: www.americaadapts.org/episodes/20-...

🌀 20 Years After Katrina🎧 What’s been fixed, what’s still broken, and what’s now under assault. I talk with @andrewrumbach.bsky.social of @urbaninstitute.bsky.social, who went to New Orleans post-Katrina and has spent two decades studying disasters and resilience. #Katrina20 #ClimateAdaptation

🌊 New pod of America Adapts! From #Acadia National Park, we dive into how the Schoodic Institute is generating the science that makes climate adaptation possible. 🦞🌲⛰️ 🎧 Listen! Adaptation only works when it’s grounded in science + partnerships — and Schoodic shows us how. #Climate #adaptation

It was great to join @americaadapts.bsky.social last month to talk about my book, Climate Change on the Battlefield. You can listen to the episode here:

Thanks to @americaadapts.bsky.social for having me on. We discussed my new book, Climate Change on the Battlefield, and why national adaptation plans *are* an investment in climate security!

🪖 Just dropped a 🔥 episode with Erin Sikorsky on how climate change is destabilizing global security—and how China is already adapting for advantage. 🎙️ We talk: 🌍 National adaptation plans 🇺🇸 U.S. backsliding 🇨🇳 China’s climate strategy 🚨 And why ignoring this is a threat multiplier #climatechange

'Twas a treat to speak on the America Adapts podcast about how we bridge housing justice and climate adaptation to secure safe, affordable, and resilient homes in a time of growing climate change impacts.

📰 New America Adapts newsletter! I break down the big ideas from the MR2025 Conference—climate mobility, managed retreat, relocation, and the stories shaping how we adapt. 🎧 Plus: Insights from Carlos Alvarado, Olga Loginova, Rob Moore, Macey Williams & more. 📩 Read it here: shorturl.at/jzJSi

A dangerous stretch of extreme heat is gripping much of the Southeastern U.S. this week. The most dangerous conditions are expected through midweek, particularly across areas from the Carolinas and Georgia down to Florida. Here's what else to know.

The first planned migration of an entire country due to climate change is happening! Tuvalu, a Pacific island nation, is at risk of being submerged under rising sea level, so it has signed an agreement with Australia to allow 280 Tuvaluans to settle in Australia as permanent residents each year.

🎙️ New podcast episode of America Adapts! Inside the MR2025 Conference: → Climate mobility → Managed retreat → Real estate + risk → A global call from 🇨🇷 Pres. Carlos Alvarado Retreat isn’t failure—it’s adaptation. 🎧 Listen!

If you missed Columbia University's Climate Mobility conference in June, you can learn more about it on @americaadapts.bsky.social. www.americaadapts.org/episodes/ins...

To illustrate just how much of the United States is uninsured against flood risk, take note of this statistic: Just 25 counties (nearly all of them coastal) account for 50% (!!!) of all active NFIP policies.

This heat wave mortality graphic tells quite the story. Europe needs to get over itself and start rolling out air conditioning.

New America Adapts podcast is up! I talk with Laurie Schoeman, senior #resilience person in Biden #WhiteHouse about what went wrong on adaptation—and what to do differently next time. Also: her work on LA’s post-fire Blue Ribbon Commission and why it matters now. #Climate #Adaptation #Wildfire #LA

New America Adapts #podcast: I talk w/ Robin Keegan—ex-FEMA, ex-HUD, Katrina veteran—about why disaster recovery is still broken, how climate change is making it worse, and what the current admin is doing to make sure it stays broken 🎧 #climatechange #DisasterRecovery #Resilience

Talking Climate is now a podcast! Every week, you can listen to the good news, not-so-good news, and what you can do on Spotify and Substack, narrated by the amazing Anne Cloud — and we’ve already got nine episodes ready to binge. Listen on Spotify:

This has been a great series so far! Especially relevant as we head into the summer season.

Tune in Wednesday: How are recent disasters affecting the costs of housing, insurance rates, and decisions by communities on whether to move away from at-risk areas? Moderated by @americaadapts.bsky.social podcast host Doug Parsons. Register: ccst.us/register-hou... #wildfire #housing #caleg

How about a dose of authoritarianism in response?? Then a doubling down on extractive business models? :) Ugh... The fast-approaching risks are clear and terrifying. Where to point instead? At the moment, this brings to mind www.americaadapts.org @americaadapts.bsky.social podcast.

My commentary @nytimes.com in re the ending of NOAA's reporting on billion-dollar disasters. “It defies logic,” [I] said. Without the database, “the U.S. government’s flying blind as to the cost of extreme weather and climate change.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/c...

Happy #EarthDay from my favorite spot(and hike) here in #Tucson, Arizona. In these trying times, let's play the long game, and know we can do big things for the environment. What better way to ponder Earth Day than with a podcast! 227 episodes...and counting. Apple Podcasts: tinyurl.com/mahputzz

Here's a short soundbite from the latest #podcast with @madisoncondon.bsky.social where she gives an update on what's likely happening within federal agencies to protect climate data. Full episode available here: tinyurl.com/3c4mxzb6 #climatechange #adaptation

Thanks to Doug for re-releasing our episode on climate models, and for inviting me to record a short update for our new era. Mostly I just emphasize "it's really bad."

I’m re-releasing a popular pod with Madison Condon, where we explored the expanding world of #climate modeling. But now, the landscape has shifted. The federal government is gutting the public data infrastructure we all rely on. So I brought Madison back for a quick follow-up. #climatechange

I've curated my foundation themed #podcast conversations. I've spoke with @kresge.org, the @waltonfamilyfdn.bsky.social and Dr. Susi Moser on a new report she's coauthored on the state of #climate adaptation funding. #climatechange #resilience

For #podcast listeners on #Spotify...I was asked if I could create playlist of my recent curated list of episodes focusing on #climate risk and #insurance. Ask and you shall receive. This dinosaur still uses Apple Podcasts...but many listeners listen on Spotify! #climatechange

Adaptation isn’t incremental anymore. In latest #podcast, Dr. Susanne Moser and I map out what transformational #adaptation looks like—and the role funders must play to get us there. Also-funding communication at the scale it deserves is key to effective adaptation! @packardfoundation.bsky.social
