I am honored to host the climate adaptation table during @ClimateWeekNYC at the Changemaker Lunch by @NYTimes! I hope we meet Sept 21 and learn from your perspective on how to speed up our #ClimateAction! The New York Times Events (nytimes.com)
Some great weekend reading by @OurWaterfront on #floodrisk disclosure for homebuyers, Florida’s first #wedg certified park and… swimming safely in the Hudson this ☀️🥵 summer 😎 mailchi.mp/waterfrontalli…
From our archives: “Stop blaming the climate for disasters,” says climatologist Friederike Otto. Scientists are increasingly warning that blaming disasters solely on climate change lets policymakers off the hook for poor planning. e360.yale.edu/features/its-n…

Politicians making waves on water management in @cityofpaloalto More months have passed and no decisions made to take #ClimateAction to prevent flooding along San Francisquito Creek and low lying East Palo Alto.
“This has been studied for decades but there is no will nor personal investment to come to a solution”, some skeptical words of a local resident. The @cityofpaloalto and #Stanford seem to forget that there is no #ClimateAction until the shovel goes into the ground.
Did you miss our 'New York Water Week' conversation with @MatthijsBouw & @edgar_westerhof, about climate resiliency in the face of possible flooding, drought, and other water-related concerns. LISTEN: wnyc.org/story/new-york…

The article raises all the questions my building board is struggling with. On Monday I hope to learn what the free energy expertise offered by the city involves, hopefully more than the stick behind the door Accelerator penalty checker… accelerator.nyc/building-energ…
“Local Law 97 … is one of the country’s boldest climate laws, with half a dozen other municipalities pursuing similar models. Its goal is to cut carbon emissions … by setting increasingly stringent limits on the city’s biggest polluters — buildings.” nytimes.com/2023/03/10/nyr…
