America Adapts - The Climate Change Podcast

In this episode, Doug Parsons talks with returning guest Alice Hill about her new book, The Fight for Climate After Covid-19. We discuss what inspired her to write the book; how her experiences working on climate change and biodefense during the Obama Presidency informed her thinking; why we need a national adaptation plan; the critical need for political leadership in confronting crises like covid and climate change; and why we should ‘marry’ climate mitigation in adaptation.   Topics covered: What lessons can we learn from Covid-19th in dealing with climate change? We need a national adaptation plan. Why political leadership is absolutely critical in dealing with big issues. We need to ‘marry’ adaptation and mitigation and have them work together…when possible. Learning about the adaptation profession and what advice Alice can offer professionals in this space. Alice’s experiences in the Obama White House and how that informs her adaptation work today.
