🌍 Enhancing Awareness of Climate Resiliency and Finance 🌍 At CO-WY Climate Resilience Engine, we are dedicated to providing essential reporting and data on climate resiliency and finance to help communities and businesses adapt and thrive in the face of climate change. As disasters become more frequent and severe, and as the gradual impacts of sea-level rise and extreme heat become more pronounced, it is increasingly likely that millions of Americans will move away from vulnerable parts of the country. Still, the relationship between climate change and migration is complex, and questions remain around how exactly climate impacts will shape domestic migration patterns, when it will occur at scale, who will be most affected, and where migrants will relocate. A growing body of research and reporting examines these critical issues. Our team is committed to delving into these complexities and providing the insights needed to navigate these challenges. We believe that by understanding these patterns and preparing for future scenarios, we can foster resilience and support sustainable growth for all communities.

Did you know the 211 network receives about 50,000 calls per day? Across the U.S., 211 call centers offer 24/7 confidential help for individuals and families seeking immediate assistance, especially in the wake of disasters. This model of community-led support is an invaluable asset for creating more resilient communities. It’s critical as we encounter more extreme climate change-related disasters that we learn from collaborative approaches like 211 so that our communities around the world are equipped with the tools they need to be stronger and safer.

In our final Resiliency blog of our three-part series, we share – Resiliency Benefits and Goals for the Future. Each year, communities are increasingly facing challenges presented by climate change and states and local governments are working to adapt, modify, and mitigate to make their communities more resilient. In Part 3, McCormick Taylor’s Director of Environmental Services and Certified Climate Change Professional, Scott Lowe, CC-P; and Director of Water Resources, Chris Brooks, P.E. share their perspective on how resiliency can be achieved and how communities can benefit from resiliency efforts.

Today we share Part 2 of our Resiliency blog series – Opportunities for Resiliency. Each year, communities are increasingly facing challenges presented by climate change and states and local governments are working to adapt, modify, and mitigate to make their communities more resilient. In Part 2, McCormick Taylor’s Director of Environmental Services and Certified Climate Change Professional, Scott Lowe, CC-P; and Director of Water Resources, Chris Brooks, P.E. share their perspective on how our infrastructure can become more resilient, and how collaboration and modern tools/technology can help.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. 𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝. Climate change isn't a distant threat—it's here, and our disengagement comes at a steep price. Rising seas and extreme weather are already causing damage to property and infrastructure in vulnerable cities like Miami. The devastation from events like Hurricane Ian shows what's at stake. The consequences of inaction are both financial and lethal. Property values plummet, real estate markets destabilize, and even basic necessities like drinking water are threatened. More critically, human lives are at risk from increasingly severe storms and floods. But there's hope. Through engaging projects like eco-art initiatives, we can spark curiosity and create personal connections with nature. When people participate in activities like planting mangroves or creating awareness through art installations, they develop a deeper understanding of environmental issues. This is the power of socially engaged art—it provokes inquiry and creates pathways for action. By tapping into creativity across all sectors, we can find innovative approaches to address climate change. The choice is clear: engage or face dire consequences. By using art as a universal language to connect with our communities, we can work together to build a more just, loving, and beautiful world—one that's resilient in the face of climate change. https://lnkd.in/gFhZPTyU

As a new project of CascadiaNow! --the Pacific Northwest is primed and ready for some climate resilience. Much appreciation to CASCADIANOW for picking up this project and taking it under your wing. We are the new kid on the block, but certainly not the slowest. Please follow our progress, here on LinkedIn, or even better, subscribe to our twice monthly newsletter for brief content on the 8th and then a little more on the third Thursday. https://lnkd.in/gU4Vj3gB We are here for positive climate news, and news that will make you type an email to your Senator or write a letter to the editor of your paper. We are about accepting the climate crisis and our place in it. We need to ensure that our household is prepared, mentally and physically (food, health, and water) but we need to also accept that our place in the climate crisis is to support innovative ways to make the US (and world) economies continue to function. How can we create a just future for all of the inhabitants of this beautiful world that humans have embellished to continue the bounty that is?

Climate change isn’t just an environmental issue—it's a peace issue. As our planet faces increasing threats, conflicts over resources like water and land become more prevalent. By tackling climate change, we protect Earth and foster peace and security worldwide. #EarthDay2024

Climate Change is a threat to Regional Security, due to Rising temperatures, devastating natural disasters, and resource scarcity - the consequences of climate change are far-reaching and devastating. But did you know that climate change also poses significant regional security risks? From mass migration to resource conflicts, the impacts of climate change are exacerbating existing tensions and creating new security challenges. It's time for us to come together and address these issues head-on. Let's connect and discuss how we can work towards a more sustainable and secure future for all. #ClimateChange #RegionalSecurity #Sustainability"

Climate change is no longer a distant threat; it’s a reality that communities around the world are grappling with today. From wildfires to hurricanes, flooding to extreme heatwaves, the impacts of climate change are varied and complex. While global measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are vital, local strategies are equally important to help communities adapt and become resilient to these changes. That’s where community outreach comes in. Engaging local communities in climate resiliency projects is a pivotal step in developing solutions that are effective, equitable, and sustainable.
