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

AND we need decommissioning of sites at end of service life, or at migration, WCF, to restore their ecosystems services. Until we revalue, or even PRE-value this aspect of development, we’ll struggle with ‘giving up’ when we could be simply ‘changing over.’ #PackItInPackItOut

We not only need funding to fix flooding, but we need to NOT be funding things enable development to happen in areas that flood or will flood. https://twitter.com/GilbertGaul1/status/1280223016262209536

Pricing risk appropriately will clearly negatively impact many, but continuing to price risk INappropriately may negatively impact many more. It would be good to see the all-in equation.

Ecosystems rely on whole systems thinking. Read Lovins’ ‘How to not parachute more cats’ for an example. Cyanide bombs. Really? How is this even a question regarding whether to continue? The opacity of the operation suggests the operators realize that too. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/jun/26/cyanide-bombs-wildfire-services-idaho?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

If this is even close, as temperatures rise, #waterpoverty will quickly overwhelm the other resilience-related issues that we face. We simply cannot accept this as the norm. See “...millions of Americans can’t afford water as bills rise 80% in a decade.” https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jun/23/millions-of-americans-cant-afford-water-bills-rise?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Paul Krugman offers an important reminder: “...we’re still losing around 600 Americans per day — that is, we’re experiencing the equivalent of six 9/11s every month.” Patience to wait, science to guide, empathy to context and #Vote2020 to change. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/22/opinion/coronavirus-trump.html?referringSource=articleShare

2 NC Counties limit through travel by “non-residents”. One blocking some property owners from entering at all. If property owners indefinitely denied access to property by emergency declaration, is this akin to a Regulatory Taking ⁦@Margaretepeloso⁩? https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/dominicholden/coronavirus-southern-counties-closing-borders-visitors

Gov Cuomo talking about how his brother, CNN Anchor Chris Cuomo has coronavirus. "It frightened me" -- "This is my little brother, my best friend...spent my whole life with him... there is nothing I can do...This situation is the same situation for everyone"

Governor @NYGovCuomo talking about his fear for his brother @ChrisCuomo who has the #coronavirus is the most real and important thing at this moment.
