The White House has released the Climate Resilience Game Changers Assessment! This document catalyzes American innovation in climate resilience by identifying a set of specific technologies and solutions for which targeted investments could have potential to help the Nation prepare of climate change in game-changing ways. Specifically, I'm happy to see the 'actionable climate data and information' section highlighting efforts to connect producers and users of climate services and information. This helps us advance the National Climate Resilience Framework! https://lnkd.in/g4s9Xn5m
This is important work but it is always disheartening to see education not on these lists. Climate education is also critical to the future or we will repeat our mistakes.
Please compare against the 2024 International Energy conservation code, the 2024 international green Comstruction code and the buildings breakthrough agreement. Please review the RICS Redbook Valuation Methodology and the ULI C-Chamge Methodology. Please do NOT make it even more difficult to do what we need most. Please do NOT create your own codes or regulations (not in compliance with international code). If you choose to be more stringent, then make it a country of state specific addenda requirement. Berkeley Earth just said we surpassed the annual average temp of 1.68C. The 5 manor scientific groups said we will surpass the 30-year ave of 1.5C between 2032-2034, 80% of recently surveyed IPCC scientists said we would surpass 2.5C and almost 50% said we would surpass 3.0C. We cannot approve and fund any airport, port, road, bridge or building that does not consider the projected modeled physical environment when we hit these thresholds. If we follow/believe in science to make medical recommendations and issue drugs, or to build and engineer cars, we can trust science to tell us what engineering parameters we should use for new construction in accordance with the latest science.
Good news! #actionable #climate #technology already exists! Climate scientists understand the importance and the urgent need for: #Meaningful and high-quality solutions #Decision-oriented methodologies #Actionable knowledge instead of raw data #Efficient tools and technologies Weather Trade Net provides actionable climate risk metrics and decision-level information to all economic sectors and countries. Our exposure and vulnerability assessments are tailored for Real estate, Transportation, Energy, Agriculture, Manufacturing, Supply chain
thanks for sharing the info!
Great advice!
Congratulations on this very important work!
