All the cool kids are doing it! ------------- We're coming up on the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement. In this new series from The Climate Pod, we're looking back on the global pact to determine: how have things changed since 2015 and what has the Paris Agreement accomplished? Our first episode was on extreme heat. This week, we're looking at the role of adaptation. In the decade that has past since the Paris Agreement was signed, emissions have continued to climb and the globe has continued to warm. How are countries adaptating? What's in store for the future? To answer these questions, we're joined by Susannah Fisher, author of Sink or Swim: How The World Needs To Adapt To A Changing Climate. Fisher is a Principal Research Fellow at University College London and works as a researcher and advisor supporting governments, cities, climate funds and communities adapt to climate change. In this conversation, we discuss what the Paris Agreement accomplished on adaptation and where it has fallen short. We talk about the critical role of finance and understanding the obstacles to sufficient funds for adaptation. We also explore how countries around the globe are adaptating to sea level rise, increased conflict, drought and water shortages, migration changes, food system challenges, and nature preservation.
