🌍 ECSP in the News | Last night, ECSP Director Lauren Herzer Risi featured as an expert on a CBS News segment looking at how recent flooding in Brazil is part of a larger trend in climate-induced migration. "When you look back to ten years ago, there were a lot of warning signals, and now those signals are blaring. We need to think about how to change our migration pathways so that people have a viable, safe, and orderly way to escape climate's worst impacts," said Risi.

CONFERENCE | CPCS to talk at the Canadian Urban Transit Association (CUTA) 2023 Conference! CPCS Senior Consultant Nicholas Roberts, P. Eng will be co-presenting with Michael Crawford Urban from the CSA Group on climate change resilience and adaptation for public transit in Canada. Why a talk on this? Because public transit operators worldwide are increasingly being impacted by floods, wildfires and extreme temperatures, among others. #publictransit #transport #climatechange #climateresilience #canada

Anthropologists at Rice U. suggest in a new paper that establishing networks of 'sister cities' dedicated to addressing the impact of natural disasters can mitigate the devastation wrought by climate change. “Sister cities for the Anthropocene” explores the connectivity of “sister cities,” broad-based, long-term, legal or social partnerships between two similar-sized communities in two countries. https://bit.ly/3wStRnv
Sister cities can help communities better navigate the climate crisis, suggests Rice research

If you think about how to cope with climate change, #mapping is probably not the first thought that pops up in your mind. But an accurate and comprehensive map is surprisingly crucial to the success of #adaptation efforts, especially for dwellers of urban #slums. This is what we found from Monrovia, Liberia, and similar slum mapping projects are happening worldwide.

“Why all this fuss about 1.5 degrees? Because our planet is a massive complex of connected systems and every fraction of a degree of global heating counts. The difference between 1.5 and 2 degrees could mean the difference between extinction and survival for some small island states and coastal communities. The difference between minimizing climate chaos or crossing dangerous tipping points. 𝟭.𝟱 𝗱𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁, 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹, 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗮 𝗽𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁.” -𝘌𝘹𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘦𝘤𝘩 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘜𝘕 𝘚𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺-𝘎𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘈𝘯𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘰 𝘎𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘔𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘶𝘮 𝘰𝘧 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘏𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘌𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘋𝘢𝘺 2024.

Record-setting Sargarssum invasions are one of the many impacts of climate change, creating quality of life issues, air pollution, and economic loss in the Caribbean, which bears little responsibility for the climate crisis. The issue is finally getting international attention and, hopefully, funding to address this region-wide problem. Read more at https://lnkd.in/enkaUCks

The recent photo of the aftermath of BC’s forest fires presents a grim snapshot of the immediate challenges Canada faces. The article underscores the spiraling demand for air conditioning due to extreme heatwaves and heat domes. If even Canada, a country blessed with abundant resources, is grappling with these acute crises, how much sooner will less resilient, more densely populated areas experience even graver impacts? This is more than a call to emotion; it’s a call to strategic action and investment. Cascaras’ patented 5th-generation energy system provides high-efficiency cooling while decarbonizing heating, effectively breaking the link between electrified heating and cooling and climate conditions. The result? A significant reduction in energy consumption and zero emissions. We’re looking for early-stage investors to join us in demonstrating this technology commercially and taking it global. We have the vision and the technology to make a significant impact—let’s connect and change the future.
"What follows is a portrait of Canada in a world warmed by two degrees. This is not what our country will look like if the world fails to reduce emissions—this is our future even if we do." Good on you Maclean's magazine, solid starting point for any journalism on #climatecrisis and #resilience.
