Battelle's Innovations in Climate Resilience Conference’s Post

Climate deniers can no longer pretend climate change isn’t happening - so they’ve changed their narrative. Our new research shows the rise of New Climate Denial, dangerous claims that cast doubt on the climate movement, science & solutions.

Ready for some hope and inspiration? The How to Save a Planet podcast is an energizing resource that focuses on possibility and calls to action. Although the podcast unfortunately ended in 2022, there is an extensive archive of episodes that tell "smart, inspiring stories about the mess we're in and how we can get ourselves out of it.” What are some resources you turn to for meaningful ways to take action on climate change? #ClimateAction #SustainableFuture #ClimateJustice Link: https://lnkd.in/eYK8_rG

Check out what my super smart sister is working on! Below is a brief summary of a recent podcast discussing the effects of climate change on internal and international migration. Go check it out! "Migration is complex, and rarely is there only one single factor that prompts people to leave their homes. That is especially true when climate change is involved, since its impacts on internal and international migration are often indirect and hard to trace. So when we talk about climate migration, what exactly do we mean? And why is the distinction important? Kerilyn Schewel, co-director of Duke University’s Program on Climate-Related Migration, joins this episode of the podcast to help make sense of the terminology and why it matters."

Listen to the insightful interview with Dr. Babak M. Tosarkani on 980 CKNW, where he discusses the pressing climate crisis and its significant impact on our economy and supply chains. His expert analysis sheds light on the challenges we face and the importance of sustainable solutions for a resilient future. #ClimateCrisis #Sustainability #EconomicImpact #SupplyChain

Anyone who knows me, knows that I have a bit of a 'thing' about #resilience. As #individuals and as #organisations, we don't make our best decisions if we wait until the big wave of a #crisis hits us. We need to be willing to explore the #future, hopeful or dire, and make good choices today, while we have options and breathing space to change course and grow our resilience. #ClimateChange makes this even more imperative. Every future #pathway includes more, and more rapid, disruption and change. At the same time, everyday, I am hearing more and more justifications for focusing on #shortterm goals and immediate challenges. And I appreciate that some businesses are facing existential #risks right now. But like it or not, we have committed climate change, and that means that we can no longer take the easier option of dealing with one problem at a time. We have to respond to current market threats or cash flow crises AND build our resilience to climate change. If we don't, we will find ourselves trapped in an escalating environment of #disruption and in a permanent state of reaction and response. We will find ourselves simply tossed around in the maelstrom and not all of us will make it to shore.

Should we worry about climate denialism? For Alex Trembath from The Breakthrough Institute, the answer is no. Climate denial is wrong (and even stupid) but it's not that material to decarbonizing faster. Listen to the latest episode of the New Enlightenment podcast from Adam Smith's Panmure House to learn more about ecomodernism and Alex's views on climate change, the modern environmental movement, and the prospects for reaching global goals (spoiler: buckle up, because we are in this for the long haul!)

"What got you here won't get you there" Always enjoy listening to Sarah Bogle on this topic. #Resilience is about bouncing back after shocks (like COVID-19, cyclones, or earthquakes). But climate-related #physcial & #transition risks and economic pressures mean you will need to accomodate a greater frequency of #shocks, may not receive as much support from #Government or #Consumers, and will have to re-form into a different shape. You will need to maintain your #capacity for (continued) low-carbon transformation during shocks, and maintain essential #functions, your #identity, and #structures, in a shifting landscape.

New podcast! To my mind, the most fundamental way in which our climate debate lags behind reality is the inability to grasp the depth of societal change that’s now inevitable... https://lnkd.in/g4SSr9Wq

Despite the worsening effects of climate change, climate financing is now competing with growing conflicts around the world for donor funding. In a new episode of Babel, Natasha Hall joins Leah Hickert to discuss how countries in the Middle East can do more with less to address climate fragility. Together, they discuss the need for: 💡 The development of local versions of National Adaptation Plans to improve coordination with local communities. 💡 Mainstreaming climate adaption into existing aid interventions to streamline financing and align aid interventions with climate resiliency needs. 💡 Establishing guardrails for climate financing to prevent the diversion of funds. 💡 Diplomatic effort from donor states to support climate adaptation plans in fragile environments, Listen to the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/eWadr_g4 #climatechange #middleeast #humanitarianaid
