Dr. Lara Hansen introduces us to the concept of “Climate Lens'' and discusses the need for climate change to be part of all planning and decision making. She stresses the importance of understanding local vulnerabilities, how they escalate other challenges, and developing solutions to mitigate those problems. Join Cimpatico

Dr. Lara Hansen - Planning & Decision Making: Looking Through The Climate Lens

Jennie Hoffman

In this very special Halloween Episode, I talk with adaptation planning legends Lara Hansen and Jennie Hoffman. Lara is the Executive Director of Ecoadapt and Jennie is Founder and Principal at Adaptation Insight.  This was the first ‘threeway’ conversation on America Adapts, where we discussed the 5 year anniversary of Jenny and Lara’s groundbreaking book,  Climate Savvy.  We learn the origins of the book, and how writing it went hand in hand with the establishment of their nationally recognized group, EcoAdapt.  Their book was one of the first to comprehensively lay out how one adapts to climate change, specifically in the natural resource world.  After digging into the book, we debate,  is the field of adaptation  elitist? Is focusing on adaptation taking attention away from mitigating against carbon emissions (we all said no!)?  We also learn if some communities actually mitigate more effectively after they embrace adaptation.  Other topics covered:  the positives and negatives of the failed Cap and Trade bill; is adaptation certification necessary; is “Climate Savvy” still relevant? We also talk about the upcoming National Adaptation Forum next year in Minnesota and what new plenary sessions will be part of the agenda.  And finally we hear Lara and Jennie make an amazing analogy between adaptation and surfing - yes, it makes sense when they explain it, so listen in!   Finally, yes, most of your favorite podcasts are supported by listeners just like you!

Climate Savvy, Adaptation Threesome and the National Adaptation Forum! A Podcast with Lara Hansen and Jennie Hoffman

From BCB... http://bestofbcb.org/cafe-007-lara-hansen-climate-change/ Wondering what you can do about climate change? In this episode, BCB host Miles Schneiderman joins Lara Hansen, chief scientist and executive director of the non-profit Eco-Adapt organization, to discuss ways in which the Bainbridge Island community can adapt itself to the realities of climate change.  Lara is a Bainbridge Island resident and a Sustainable Bainbridge board member. She has worked for the EPA and the World Wildlife Fund, and serves on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.  During her conversation with Miles, Lara offers examples of ways in which Bainbridge residents can think about climate change issues in the context of our island's features -- such as our local development patterns and vulnerability in some shoreline areas to rising sea levels -- and mentions ways in which an awareness of climate change can be integrated into the current efforts to update the city’s local comprehensive plan.  They also talk about the failure of governments to address climate change, the need for adaptation on the part of local administrations, and Lara’s optimism for the future.  Join them for this informative, 25-minute chat and find out how you and your city can take a stand against a phenomenon that is, in Lara’s words, “everybody’s problem.” To learn more about Lara and her work, visit www.ecoadapt.org and www.sustainablebainbridge.org.
