💵 Investment in climate adaptation has to happen now. Climate risks are not distant threats, they are with us today. Floods, storms, and wildfires may be the most obvious climate-driven perils, but there are also dangers to human health, heavy industry, water supply, and many, many other sectors that have to be addressed before losses – to communities, businesses, and financial institutions – pile up. Ignoring the urgency of adaptation is like playing a game of roulette with our future. Join Jay Koh of The Lightsmith Group on this week's episode of Climate Proofers, as he unpacks the adaptation investment thesis and shares his thoughts on the state of the market for adaptation solutions.

How can we ensure climate resilience remains a priority? As President Biden prepares to hand over the reins, we look back on his unparalleled commitment to climate adaptation, which has laid the groundwork for a more climate-resilient America. Recently, his administration published a Climate Resilience Game Changers Assessment report, which serves as a guide to mobilizing investment in 28 technologies, practices, and strategies that should harden the US against ever-worsening climate risks.

🏙 Cities around the world are establishing Offices of Climate Resilience to climate-proof their communities. Earlier this month, Boston set up its own dedicated Office of Climate Resilience to accelerate Beantown's response to climate hazards, including coastal flooding, extreme heat, and storm impacts, and to work with other agencies to make the city’s neighborhoods more livable. I spoke with Chris Osgood, who's leading the new unit, to learn more about the Office's mission and how it's working to advance Mayor Michelle Wu's broader environmental justice agenda. I also caught up with Malcolm Robinson-Campbell of the Resilient Cities Network and Jim Murley, Chief Resilience Officer for Miami-Dade, for more info on the 'how' and 'why' of these Offices.
