"How do we account for nature?" - It's actually pretty easy to calculate it using the #RealValue methodology from BASIN Natural Capital - 18 Core Benefits accounted for in $/yr. RealValue can be applied to any polygon in the world in any ecosystem. Here is an example on a wetlands property:
Next Wed 1/17 I'll have the honor of hosting Dr. Phil Levin, Director of the White House's National Nature Assessment, in a fireside chat to talk all things climate and nature: - How do we account for nature, when we can barely count emissions? - Do natural climate solutions matter when we're also dealing with buildings, energy and ag? - What does nature mean to you, and why is it important (if it is)? - What changes are we seeing? - How do climate, inequity and nature loss overlap? Many people think of "nature" as something without humans in it, but Dr. Levin's research is pointing to a different reality — one that's relational between people and nature, and one where restoring culture and restoring nature aren't separate actions And this is informing real policy! Exciting stuff The event is live and in-person here in Seattle, but will also be on Zoom, and is open and free to all RSVP: https://lnkd.in/gT88nvqp *Zoom link shared upon RSVP

Program Manager | Climate Justice and Resilience | Over 15 Years of Experience in Government and Policy Research | Expert in Research and Analysis | Empowerment and Equity
Addressing the intersection of climate change and national security, as well as the impacts of that on marginalized communities is a crucial step toward building a safer, more equitable world.
Join EESI tomorrow at 2pm for a briefing about the impacts of climate change on U.S. national security. Effective climate adaptation actions can help address the threat that extreme heat, wildfires, and other climate change impacts pose to critical infrastructure across the country. Panelists will discuss climate adaptation already happening at the local level and the range of federal programs designed to support these efforts. Panel: 💡 Susanne M. Torriente, Global Principal, City Resilience, Jacobs 💡 Mary-Carson Saunders Stiff, Executive Director, Wetlands Watch 💡 Antoine Richards, MPH, CNP, Chief of Staff, Institute for Diversity and Inclusion in Emergency Management 💡 Rachel I. Jacobson, Lead Researcher, State Climate Policy, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities With introductory remarks by Adam Smith, Applied Climatologist at NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration's National Centers for Environmental Information.

Mōrena, and Happy Tuesday which means newsletter day! 🌞 This week we reflect on the tangible potential for radical climate action - simple yet impactful changes we could literally implement tomorrow! Yesterday we had the pleasure of attending a Climate Fresk Aotearoa workshop (hosted by our very own Emily Sutton), where we delved into climate science in a collaborative, gamified format. 💡 What amazed me most was the spectrum of ideas and opportunities for action that emerged when we put our heads together. From knowing where our strengths lie to help transition to passive low-carbon buildings, or supporting farmers as custodians of the land; the solutions are within our reach. 💪 The challenge is not so much a technical one, but rather social and political. What we need to do now is prioritize these straightforward actions and push for the changes needed to make them a reality.

This is an engaging webinar on the impacts of climate change, gathering #climatescience and the #cultural and #spiritual dimensions of our relationship with Earth. Highly recommended! Planetary Health Alliance 👇
📚 Want to understand “Loss and Damage” better? 🌍 Join this free webinar by Energy, GIS, and Environmental Studies at Johns Hopkins AAP (Johns Hopkins University Advanced Academic Programs) for an opportunity to learn the complexities of climate justice and explore solutions, from lost cultural sites to displaced communities. “Loss and Damage,” in the context of climate change, refers to the consequences that go beyond what people can adapt to, or when options exist but a community doesn’t have the resources to access or utilize them. RSVP 👉 https://lnkd.in/eEi38yJT #ClimateAction #ClimateJustice #LossAndDamage

Scientists and policymakers agree that the Bay Area needs 100,000 acres of tidal marsh to remain a healthy environment and properly prepare for sea level rise. For adequate wetland restoration and shoreline protection strategies, it will take around $110 billion in funding. Current funds are not enough to meet the restoration needs of the region, especially since the proposed state budget for this year slashes $450 million in sea level rise adaptation funding. The state needs a climate bond. Currently, legislators are working to pass a bond to raise billions for climate resilience in the state that could potentially show up on the 2024 ballot. To learn more about the current stages of the climate bond and who we support this upcoming year, check out our blog. https://lnkd.in/gfgDgTRP
