"[Until] we’re all on the same page on what a climate migrant is, a lot of people will keep falling through the cracks..." Check out that tidbit and a few more I gave for this @AlArabiya_Eng story! english.alarabiya.net/News/world/202…


I’ve been looking forward all morning to this #HazWS plenary session “State of Emergency—Resource Commitments and Compassion in an Age of Extremes” led by my @RANDCorporation colleague @RamblingRoberts!

There *are* actions that can be taken—immediately and over the long term—to address the problem of wildfire smoke. @PardeeRAND's Jay Balagna, a former wildland firefighter, explains. bit.ly/3oYb869

"Big, yet simple changes to employment models and firefighting budgets can buy us time now, and every year we wait to make them adds to the number of days we'll all spend each year under the kind of smoke the East Coast saw last week." bit.ly/43VjA4P


The smoke and haze on the eastern half of the confidence should stand as yet another sign that we need to take reforms to the wildland fire workforce more seriously. Here I write for ⁦@RANDCorporation⁩ about some things I think might surprise people rand.org/blog/2023/06/w…

🧵As frequent coauthors of @randcorporation research, our @pardeerand students often have a real-world policy impact before they even graduate. One recent report stands out to me, and I’m thrilled to share it with you.

The numerous tradeoffs in #Ukraine reconstruction and their ramifications -- new report from my @RANDCorporation colleagues @khrystyna_hlnsk, @jaybalagna, and @KMMarcinek rand.org/pubs/research_…


I'm really glad this is out in the world and am grateful and honored to have had the opportunity to write it alongside my @PardeeRAND colleagues @KHolynska and @KMMarcinek Thanks so much to @kbkumar_ and @RANDCorporation for making the space for us to do this work.

Even as the war in Ukraine drags on, decisions about reconstruction loom large. A new RAND report examines the trade-offs when it comes to deciding how to prioritize reconstruction efforts, when to begin the process, and who might fund the recovery. 🧵bit.ly/3AHkVja

Kudos to students @KHolynska @jaybalagna and @KMMarcinek — authors of a thoughtful and important examination of the trade-offs that will be needed for Ukraine’s eventual reconstruction.
