Climate Adaptation

Do We Still Have Time?

August 28, 2026 Robert Hunziker, Counter Punch. Strategize! Carbon emissions, Climate Adaptation, climate crisis, Scientists

"We still have time” has been superseded by “How much worse can it get.” The world has been turned upside down by a destructive, out-of-control global climate system. “Unprecedented” is found in every corner of the planet. There are no safe harbors, whilst disillusionment and anger build amongst 8.3 billion people. Indeed, climate deniers are at risk of being run out of town on a rail. Along the way, oil, gas, coal producers quietly collect billions of dollars on the back of massive CO2 emissions bursting into the atmosphere.

America’s Climate Free Fall

July 25, 2026 Robert Hunziker, Counter Punch. Educate! Climate Adaptation, climate crisis, Extreme weather, Global Economy, Tipping point

Climate tipping points are critical thresholds that trigger unstoppable shifts to another state. The global climate system is full of teetering tipping points that collectively threaten the climate system with radical change. But it’s the change itself, the transition to a tipping point, that is most chaotic. This is climate free fall in America today, dangerously exposing the country to risks overlooked by policy decision-makers. Climate free fall has been identified by Anders Kevernann, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Germany, Professor of the Dynamics of the Climate System at Institute for Physics and Astrophysics: “The planet is heading for climate free fall, a period where increasingly erratic weather will stress global supply chains, spike insurance losses, and undermine the financial stability modern economies depend on.

Repeated Storms Are Turning Disaster Recovery Into A Way Of Life

July 18, 2026 Lee Ann Rawlins Williams, Resilience. Strategize! Climate Adaptation, climate crisis, Disaster Recovery, Extreme weather

Flash flooding has been tearing up communities across the U.S., with heavy downpours sending creeks and rivers rushing over their banks from Texas to Kentucky, across the Midwest and into the Mid-Atlantic states and the Northeast. Texas’ Hill Country was hit hard again when a powerful storm triggered flooding on the Guadalupe and other rivers on July 16, 2026, in the same region where more than 100 people, including young campers, died in flash flooding on July 4, 2025. In Missouri, floodwater swept away a home, and National Guard helicopters had to rescue and evacuate dozens of people from a summer camp.

Latest Global Climate Talks End With Little Progress, Deep Political Tensions

June 23, 2026 Josh Gabbatiss and Molly Lempriere, Resilience. Educate! Climate Adaptation, climate crisis, COP 2026, Fossil Fuels

Two weeks of tense UN climate talks in Bonn, Germany (from June 8 to June 18) have produced few tangible outcomes as diplomats faced “gridlock”. Negotiators failed to find agreement in numerous areas, such as scaling up global emissions cuts and funding for climate adaptation. In the closing plenary, many diplomats lamented weakened trust in the UN climate process, as it struggled to find its footing in a new geopolitical landscape. As ever, climate finance was one of the greatest sources of tension between developed and developing countries, influencing the debate around adaptation and trade in the Bonn talks.

The Time Is Here To Act On Climate Adaptation

November 10, 2025 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. Featured Campaign, Podcast - Clearing The FOG Climate Adaptation, climate crisis, COP30, Media, Resilience

The United Nations Conference of Parties (COP) is holding its annual meeting in Brazil this year for the 30th time. Despite the creation of the Paris Climate Agreement nearly ten years ago, carbon emissions continue to rise, and the world is now experiencing the impacts of the 1.5° Celsius rise in temperature we sought to avoid. The time has come to shift our thinking and actions to what we can do locally to prepare for and protect our communities from the dangers of the climate crisis. Clearing the FOG speaks with Ed Jarvis, the leader of the Climate Majority Project's SAFER (Strategic Adaptation for Emergency Resilience) campaign. Jarvis discusses the campaign's efforts to bring greater awareness to the need for adaptation and shares what people are doing with a focus on climate justice.

Organizers Demand Release Of Katrina Funds In New Orleans

August 23, 2025 People's Dispatch. Resist! Climate Adaptation, Extreme weather, Infrastructure, New Orleans

This month marks 20 years since Hurricane Katrina devastated the southeastern United States, causing at least 1,392 deaths and an estimated USD 125 billion in damages, much of it concentrated in the Louisiana city of New Orleans. This year, Louisiana-based organizers are launching a grassroots campaign to demand that New Orleans utilize USD 600 million dollars in unused public funds for long-awaited repairs. In 2015, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) gave New Orleans nearly USD 2 billion for post-Katrina infrastructure repairs, but USD 600 million still hasn’t been used, according to organizers. Organizers with the Party for Socialism and Liberation held a press conference on Friday, August 22, which was hit with a sudden rainfall.

Is The Bioeconomy A Sustainable Solution For The Planet?

On 10 February, representatives of 14 bioeconomy organisations from 11 EU Member States signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) officially establishing the European Bioeconomy Cluster Alliance (EBCA). The agreement is an important step towards fostering collaboration and innovation in the bioeconomy sector. In Spain, regions such as the Basque Country and Catalonia, in particular, are strongly committed to the transition towards a bioeconomy model. The bioeconomy has emerged in recent decades as a transformative proposal for our economic system aimed at achieving climate neutrality and moving away from the use of fossil fuels, cement and other materials, such as plastics.

Imagine You Are A Poor Nation, Trapped By Debt And Strangled By Climate Change

May 9, 2025 John Feffer, Resilience. Strategize! Climate Adaptation, climate crisis, Debt, Global South

Imagine you are a low-income country. You suffer from a heavy debt burden. You’ve been trying to catch up to the more affluent countries for decades, but you’ve been unsuccessful, mainly because of that debt hanging around your neck like a giant millstone. And you are spending more and more of your precious resources dealing with the effects of climate change, from rising waters to superstorms, a crisis that you played only a small part in creating in the first place. You face a terrestrial version of the three-body problem. These three “bodies”—debt, development, and climate change—impact your country in difficult-to-predict ways.

From Failing To Prepare To Preparing To Fail?

May 5, 2025 Rupert Read and Ed Jarvis, Resilience. Organize! Climate Adaptation, climate crisis, Localism, United Kingdom (UK)

The recent Climate Change Committee report on the UK government’s lack of preparedness for climate breakdown reveals negligence at a historic scale. The report lays bare years of successive Governments’ failure to prepare the UK for the breakdown that is now upon us, with far worse to come. From heat exposure to rising flood risk to national infrastructure, homes and harvests, countless lives and livelihoods are at severe risk. Conservative estimates project impact to the UK economy into hundreds of billions, before 2050. Faced with these stark facts, can any of us still believe that the government is primed to simply come and save us? Awareness is dawning among UK communities that it’s down to all of us to respond to the dangerous climate change we’re experiencing here and now.

Ahead Of Fire And Hurricane Season, FEMA Moves To End Major Program

April 19, 2025 Zoya Teirstein and Jake Bittle, In These Times. Educate! Climate Adaptation, Federal funding, FEMA, Trump Administration

The Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, is known for responding to extreme weather like hurricanes and wildfires — the kinds of disasters that are becoming more intense and common as climate change gets worse. But the agency also has a program that sends billions of dollars to communities, municipalities and states proactively so that they can prepare for these events before they hit. In an internal FEMA memorandum obtained and first reported by Grist, the Trump administration announced its plans to dismantle that program — the biggest climate adaptation initiative the federal government has ever funded — even as disasters incur hundreds of billions of dollars worth of damages across the United States.
