climate change adaptation

The Trump administration seems determined to ignore the findings in the recently released climate report from its own agencies.

Some 821 million people now face food insecurity, raising numbers to the same level as almost a decade ago. The situation is worsening in South America, Central Asia and most regions of Africa, according to the UN’s annual food security report. A resurgence in the use of “cover crop” and nanotechnologies may mitigate climate change impacts.

As sea level rises, scientists say storm surges combined with high tide will put more and more of downtown Boston at risk of flooding.

Many new initiatives were unveiled at Climate Week NYC this year, including pledges from businesses and countries to speed up the transition to electric cars and renewable energy. But, in the face of multiple disastrous global weather events and the unwillingness of the Trump administration to even admit climate problems exist, the sense of urgency is rising.

Climate change is bringing more extreme weather to just about every corner of the globe. Some places are getting ready, some aren’t. And the difference isn’t just about money.
