Life, Liberty and Climate Data: The Privatization of a Public Good
In episode of , Doug Parsons hosts . Justin is a climate scientist and associate professor at Dartmouth College. Doug and Justin discuss his provocative column in the New York Times on climate data accessibility – should tax funded climate data remain a public good. Justin also explains the intricacies of climate modeling and the ethical considerations of private sector involvement. Justin also emphasizes the significance of aligning private and public sector efforts for effective climate adaptation. Doug and Justin discuss the importance of having a National Adaptation Plan and Justin also highlights the work of his students in climate impact attribution and loss and damage research. America Adapts is increasingly covering the issue of climate data and modeling and in this thought providing discussion, we learn about the ethical considerations of privatizing a public good. Topics covered: Understanding Climate Models The Right to Climate Data Legal Implications of Climate Data Accuracy Interaction with Private Sector on Climate Science Free Climate Models vs. Paid Models Importance of National Adaptation Plan National Resilience Framework vs. National Adaptation Plan Dr. Mankin's Student Research Projects Recommendation for Future Guest: Erin Mayfield and Klaus Keller Quotes: Dr. Justin Mankin: “I think there's a gigantic gap between the science I do and the decision relevance of it.” “My investigations, which are fundamentally about informing adaptation and risk management of climate change that science is paid for,? And to the extent that science is linked back to people's tax dollars. I have an absolute imperative to communicate my science to whoever will listen.” “And that means that a national adaptation plan would establish minimal require informational requirements and make those data to inform adaptation decisions available to people in a legible format, right?” Check out the America Adapts Media Kit !

The Fundamentals (and ethics) of Architecture and Climate Adaptation
In episode of America Adapts, Doug Parsons hosts , founder and CEO of the architectural firm . In this episode, we learn the fundamentals of architecture and climate adaptation. Dena and Doug discuss the crucial role architects play in advocating for sustainable and resilient design practices that emphasize climate change risks. We discuss Indigo River's focus on waterfront projects in flood-prone areas and their incorporation of resilience and adaptation into designs, especially in the New York region. Dena also addresses the ethical dilemmas of designing for climate change. She shares the role of governing bodies in architecture and how they can help bring adaptation into this sector. This was a fascinating discussion: how does one behave as an ethical architect in the age of climate change? What are the ethics of adaptation? Do they differ by sector? Artificial intelligence and its role in architecture? Introduction and Overview of Indigo River Architects' Role in Climate Adaptation and Sustainable Design Architects' Responsibility in Advocating Sustainable Construction Practices Balancing Ethics and Client Demands Ethics of Designing in High-Risk Areas The Ethics of Architecture and Adapting to Future Scenarios The Impact of Infrastructure Investment Act on Architecture and Grants Process Architectural governance The Future Role of Architects Image credit: Danist Soh and Anders Jildén Subscribe to the America Adapts newsletter .

The Wild Wild West of Climate Modeling
In episode of , Doug Parsons hosts Madison Condon, a law professor at Boston University School of Law. Doug and Madison explore the critical role climate models play in adaptation planning, but more importantly, their capabilities, what they can and can not do,. Madison explains what is the "climate industrial complex’ and if there’s a need for the government to step in and regulate this emerging sector. Also, should these climate analytic and modeling companies be liable for making bad projections…and how can you hold a company liable for a projection that’s set decades in the future? Madison also critiques a recent Federal Reserve Bank attempt at stress testing the climate risks for the banking sector. Great conversation on the critical topic of climate modeling! The Federal Reserve “is a climate laggard.” What are climate models and what can and can’t they do? What is the “climate industrial complex”? How right, is “right” enough when it comes to climate models? Could climate analytic/modeling companies be held liable for bad projections? The role of climate analytic groups like First Street Foundation. Do we need a “National Climate Service” to provide basic climate data? Do adaptation planners understand the role of climate models in their work? Subscribe to the America Adapts newsletter . Listen to America Adapts on your !

Climate Change and the Legal System: Why the U.S. Constitution Needs to Adapt with Law Professor Mark Nevitt
In episode of , Doug Parsons host , a former Navy Jag and now Law professor at Emory University. Mark shares his insights on the intersection of law and climate change. They discuss how US laws were created during a much more stable climate and how the legal system has not kept up with the current climate moment. The takings clause in the US Constitution is now relevant for climate change and Mark and Doug dig into this issue. Mark also considers his military experience good preparation to get into climate adaptation. We also discuss whether judges should recuse themselves if they are climate skeptics and should we amend the US Constitution to address important adaptation issues. Also, what would happen if the President declared a national emergency around climate change. Join us for this fascinating discussion on the challenges and opportunities at the intersection of law and climate change. Topics covered: · Mark's military background in the Navy and military justice informs his perspective on climate change adaptation. · US laws were created during a time of more stable climate, which poses legal uncertainties for climate adaptation measures. · The takings clause in the US Constitution is relevant to climate change adaptation. · Cities that commit funding for infrastructure are now liable to maintain it, even in the face of long-term climate impacts. · Climate skeptics may pose a challenge to legal decisions in climate adaptation cases, raising questions about judge recusal. · Is there a need to amend the US Constitution to address important adaptation issues? · Without a change in legal doctrine, climate adaptation will default to unmanaged retreat, exacerbating existing inequalities. · A declaration of a national emergency around climate change by the President could help to spur action on climate adaptation. · The 5th Amendment presents challenges for implementing many climate adaptation measures due to its provisions on property rights and compensation.

Climate Equity Growing Pains, Adaptation Research and Why Universities Struggle to Offer Resilience Programs with Dr. Eric Chu of UC Davis
In episode of , Doug Parsons hosts . Eric shares the challenges of integrating climate curricula into universities and the functions of the UC Davis . We also discuss the importance of working with university students to determine their professional adaptation work needs. We take a closer look at Chapter 12 of the National Climate Assessment (NCA) and discuss why it isn't used more frequently by adaptation professionals. Furthermore, we explore the NCA's efforts to avoid replicating the IPCC report process. We discuss the growing pains that climate equity is going through as Eric highlights the need to define an idealized climate equity goal before we can realistically accomplish it. We also discuss the emptiness of much of the rhetoric surrounding climate equity discussions. Finally, we touch on the fact that adaptation research typically lags behind adaptation practice. Topics Covered: Challenges of bringing climate curricula into a university system. UC Davis’ Climate Adaptation Research Center functions. Working with University students to help them determine their professional adaptation work needs. Chapter 12 of the National Climate Assessment and why isn’t it used more by adaptation professionals? NCA trying not to replicate the IPCC report process (by being too wordy). Need to define an idealized climate equity goal before we can realistically accomplish it.
