With climate change experts around the world, I help clients to co-create adaptation strategies by asking “how might we?” Three powerful words.

Bravo to the extraordinary teams of the Resilience Accelerator for Tel Aviv-Yafo! Today's report, an important milestone in Shapira's transformation towards climate change adaptation, shows how innovations work across scales.

Seneca nailed it as he wrote on the value of time: “rising adaptation costs are likely to range from USD 140 billion to 300 billion per annum by 2030, and could rise to between USD 280 billion and 500 billion per annum by 2050.” #WeCantUnknowThis https://gca.org/solutions/un-estimates-the-global-cost-of-climate-adaptation

Global Financial Giants Swear Off Funding an Especially Dirty Fuel https://nyti.ms/3buUaAE but “In April, voters elected a provincial leader who promised to punish companies that stopped financing the oil sands.” What? I read this one twice thinking I’d misunderstood. Seems not.

These are the beginnings of the very tough discussions that need to happen at a global scale. How might we begin to make sense of this and create the policies, programs and places to ease the transitions that are to come? https://lnkd.in/eg3hjE3

The transition of @Apple from a company embodiying exuberance, positivity, and the power of the collective into one that celebrates cynicism is complete. #SteveJobs would not recognize what they’ve become.

“Despite our conservative approach, we found that a very small fraction of the northern permafrost region can contribute up to 40% additional permafrost carbon release and increase overall global warming potential by approximately 100%” - a stunning conclusion #wecantunknowthis

My unicorn paper is out! After 7 years of data synthesis, new conceptualization, and building numerical models, we now have the first estimate of thermokarst (abrupt thaw) carbon emissions. This hotspot process affects small areas but packs a big C punch. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41561-019-0526-0

Today’s climate-driven range shifts are ‘one of the only solutions for species to adapt to climate change’...

A timely reminder that #retreat is a natural and necessary response to a changing climate.

Useful insight into how #quantitativeanalysis is used in sustainable fund management to fill in the gaps resulting from messy or incomplete ESG disclosures. Can market performance provide a check on corporate #greenwashing?
