📢We don’t know a lot about what happens when climate change adaptation projects end and that’s a problem. I have a new *open access* paper out in

The green transition has implications for long-standing water conflicts in the arid American West. In this Nevada Public Radio, Sophia Borgias and I talk about our new research on water scarcity and decarbonization across the Great Basin 👇 knpr.org/show/knprs-state-of…
"Much of the labor of adaptation to climate change is under-, unpaid or unfree." We need to take adaptation labor seriously. Now. New @GEC_Journal commentary out with brilliant coauthors. Check it out 👇sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
The death of Cal PhD student Gabe Trujillo is heartbreaking. At @ERGBerkeley we have been planning a field safety workshop for a year plus but it has been hard to find good resources (especially for social scientists). Does anyone have materials or approaches they can share?

I have spent the last month in Ecuador visiting communities that formerly participated in climate change adaptation projects. They are fiercely fighting to keep their orgs and infrastructure going but are struggling. We need climate finance models that provide sustained support.
Check out this great article by Climate Futures Lab member @KierenRudge on how to leverage critical race theory to produce equitable climate change adaptation. Essential reading 👇🏼rdcu.be/ddxwS

New working paper with a big crew of colleagues on the work of climate change adaptation. We look across 12 case studies spanning geographies, and institutional/economic arrangements to suggest how adaptation labor can become a strategy for redistribution papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…
