Unmanaged Retreat: Inside America's First Federal Climate Relocation Attempt04 Nov 202500:35:27

In episode 240 of America Adapts, host Doug Parsons talks with reporter Terry Jones about the tangled story behind America's first federally funded climate relocation on Louisiana's Isle de Jean Charles. Once hailed as a model for how the nation could move entire communities out of harm's way, the project became mired in politics, confusion, and broken promises. Terry shares what he uncovered on the ground — from residents who never wanted to leave, to state officials unprepared for the task, to the bigger question of whether the U.S. is truly ready for managed retreat. This episode clears up the confusion, revealing what really happened, why it matters, and what the rest of the country can learn before the next community faces these climate impacts.

Understanding the IPCC with Dr. Katharine Mach—Where the Media Succeeds and Fails - Re-release20 Oct 202500:56:05

In episode 239 of America Adapts, Doug Parsons revisits his conversation with Dr. Katharine Mach, Professor at the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science and a lead author for the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report. Katharine explains the process of drafting that report and how the media both succeeds and fails at communicating its urgency. Doug and Katharine also discussed the need to rethink the role and purpose of the IPCC as it prepares for its next major assessment—especially now, as the Trump administration dismantles the National Climate Assessment and scales back federal climate programs, making the IPCC's global work more important than ever. That makes the IPCC's independent, global work even more vital—providing the scientific foundation the world, and especially the U.S., still needs to understand and respond to climate risk.

Transcript available here.

Topics covered:

  • IPCC is a grand partnership between the governments of the world.
  • How did the media do in reporting on the IPCC report?
  • The IPCC has zero regulatory authority over sovereign nations.
  • What does it mean to be a lead author for the IPCC.
  • Many developing countries don't have the climate data and experts that developed countries have.
  • How can the IPCC be relevant to adaptation planners in the U.S.
  • Who is the audience for the IPCC report and how do you communicate to different audiences.
  • How can American policymakers make use of the IPCC report.
  • Adaptation education at the University of Miami

Key Quotes:

"Adaptation isn't a checklist—it's a continuous conversation about what kind of future we want."

"Climate risk is always filtered through inequality."

"Transformative adaptation is about changing the rules of the game, not just moving the pieces."

"Science must learn to listen before it speaks."

Hello, Miami! Fundamentals of Local Climate Adaptation Reporting with Alex Harris of the Miami Herald07 Jun 202101:03:03

Doug Parsons hosts Alex Harris, a climate reporter with the Miami Herald. Alex, the only reporter dedicated to climate change in the entire southeast, shares what it's like covering climate change in the Miami region. We discuss the importance of local media for adaptation; using the latest science as a reporter; the mega projects Miami is considering to halt flooding and sea level rise; how a nearly decade old Rolling Stone article on climate change still haunts local officials; what happened to the Florida Chief Resilience Officer and why it's so hard to stop using polluting septic tanks in Miami.

Topics covered:

  • Being the first climate reporter in the southeast United States
  • Why local media coverage of climate change is so critical.
  • And will adaptation help drive new interest in local media coverage.
  • The challenges of covering private sector adaptation stakeholders.
  • Embedding climate change into topic coverage.
  • Climate justice and equity in the Miami region.
  • Learn how every 5 years, local scientists make sea level rise estimates that local governments plan from.
  • Why is Miami thinking of building a 20-foot wall through Biscayne bay?
  • The lunacy of septic tanks in Miami.
  • What happened to Florida's Chief Resilience Officer?
  • Rolling Stone's Jeff Goodell lives rent free in the minds of local elected officials in Miami.

Transformative Climate Adaptation in the United States: Trends and Prospects with Dr. Susanne Moser and Dr. Linda Shi24 May 202101:15:53

In episode 139 of America Adapts, Doug Parsons hosts two leading adaptation thinkers, Dr. Susanne Moser and Dr. Linda Shi and we discuss a new article they published Transformative Climate Adaptation in the United States: Trends and Prospects. Learn what it is and how it can influence climate equity and justice issues. We also discuss if democratic governments are the best model for transformative adaptation and is the Biden administration prioritizing resilience planning. Also, in a bonus conversation, Judge Alice Hill returns to the podcast to discuss how climate change is not properly included in economic risk planning.

  • Try to imagine a much different world where transformative adaptation can happen.
  • Learn the story behind the articles' publication and how it was rejected in the first journal it was submitted to.
  • Is Democracy the right political model to accomplish transformative adaptation? Is there a role for authoritarian regimes?
  • Is the Green New Deal capable of driving transformative change?
  • How transformative adaptation can promote climate equity and justice.
  • Is the Biden administration prioritizing adaptation (no)?
  • What role is the private sector playing in driving innovative adaptation planning.
  • What role does communication play in driving transformative adaptation?
  • Is the adaptation sector mature enough to create transformative change?

Adaptation U. – Mastering Climate Adaptation in Higher Education12 Apr 202100:49:35

In episode 136 of America Adapts, Doug Parsons hosts Dr. Jeanine Dudle and Dr. Sarah Strauss of Worcester Polytechnic Institute about launching a pioneering graduate program in community climate adaptation. The three discuss the challenges of starting a new program; how they developed the curricula; what type of students would excel in their program and the growing demand for professionals with a strong adaptation background.

California Adapts to Climate Change Part 3: The Adaptation Scorecard (Re-release)06 Apr 202100:41:40

In episode 135, California Adapts part 3,  Doug Parsons and writer/producer Randy Olson talk about their overall impressions of climate adaptation in California. Each of the experts interviewed during the journey gave scores from 1 to 10 for their opinion of how well they think the state is addressing their element of climate adaptation. The scores are presented to three of the experts for their assessment. The analysis ends with one more expert - a dissenting voice in terms of how well California is preparing for the changes in the climate that are already happening.

What is "climate adaptation" and how well is California doing with it? The podcast "America Adapts" hosted by Doug Parsons has been exploring the topic of climate adaptation since 2016. In this three part special, sponsored by the UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, Doug takes an in-depth look at the state of California, presenting its long history of environmental leadership, current work on adaptation throughout the state, and how California will be dealing with a changing environment in the future.

California Adapts to Climate Change part 2: Fire, Drought, Flood, Temperature and Sea level rise (Re-release)01 Apr 202101:05:51

In episode 134, a re-release, Doug Parsons' journeys around California exploring the five most important elements of climate adaptation for the state — fire, drought, flood, temperature and sea level rise. For each one he goes into the field with an expert. He visits the burn area of the Thomas Fire of December 2017 with a fire captain, talks about drought with the state's "Water Czar," standing beside the Sacramento River, hears the details of the ARkStorm Mega-flood Scenario from a climate scientist, follows an urban heat expert using a laser thermometer to measure the temperature of asphalt in Los Angeles, and visits the central coast of California to talk about sea level rise. The five sequences provide an overview of climate adaptation for the state.

What is "climate adaptation" and how well is California doing with it? The podcast "America Adapts" hosted by Doug Parsons has been exploring the topic of climate adaptation since 2016. In this three part special, sponsored by the UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, Doug takes an in-depth look at the state of California, presenting its long history of environmental leadership, current work on adaptation throughout the state, and how California will be dealing with a changing environment in the future.

California Adapts to Climate Change Part 1: Environmental History (Re-release)29 Mar 202100:48:00

In episode 133 of America Adapts, What is "climate adaptation" and how well is California doing with it? In this three part special, sponsored by the UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, Doug takes an in-depth look at the state of California, presenting it's long history of environmental leadership, current work on adaptation throughout the state, and how California will be dealing with a changing environment in the future.

In this episode, California Adapts Episode 1, consists of three main stories. Geologist Jeff Mount of UC Davis tells the epic tale of the 1861-1862 floods that washed out Sacramento, killing hundreds and forcing the temporary moment of the state capital to San Francisco. Environmental activist Ed Begley, Jr. and "The Queen of Green," longtime head of the California Air Resources Board (CARB), Mary Nichols tells about how the state managed to clean up the smog problem of the 1970's, then brings us up to the present with her perspective on Governors Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jerry Brown with regard to climate leadership.

Hazard Mitigation meets Climate Adaptation – with Dr. Andrew Rumbach15 Mar 202101:06:27

In episode 132 of America Adapts, Doug Parsons hosts Andrew Rumbach, Associate Professor of Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning at Texas A&M University and faculty fellow at the Hazard Reduction and Recovery Center. The two discuss the similarities (and differences) between the two fields. Andrew shares research, looking at historic resources vulnerabilities to climate change and we learn the unique role mobile homes play in determining a community's overall resistance to climate and weather threats. That and much more!

Topics covered:

  • What is hazard mitigation.
  • How it relates (and doesn't) to climate adaptation.
  • Historic preservation and hazard mitigation and case studies.
  • Research on flooding in Colorado and the risk to historic resources.
  • Why does there appear to be a division between hazard mitigation and climate adaptation?
  • Why does hazard mitigation ignore extreme heat? Or does it?
  • How does emergency management fit in all this?
  • How mobile homes are a canary in the coal mine if you're doing adaptation correctly.
  • The potential use of FEMA grants to help provide educational opportunities for those populations most impacted by hazards.

ManglarIA: Salvando la naturaleza con inteligencia artificial. Cómo WWF utiliza la IA para ayudar a los manglares a adaptarse20 May 202500:41:12

En el episodio 229 de America Adapts, presentamos una edición especial del pódcast: nuestro primer episodio completamente en español. Este es un hito emocionante, ya que ampliamos el alcance del programa para llegar a audiencias hispanohablantes en todo el mundo.  Este episodio retoma el trabajo innovador de la iniciativa ManglarIA del Fondo Mundial para la Naturaleza (WWF, por sus siglas en inglés), que en español significa "IA para los manglares", un proyecto apoyado por Google.org, el brazo filantrópico de Google. La versión original en inglés de este episodio está disponible aquí.  ManglarIA utiliza tecnología de punta —incluyendo inteligencia artificial, sensores y drones— para comprender mejor cómo los ecosistemas de manglares, y las comunidades que dependen de ellos, se ven afectados por el cambio climático. La iniciativa tiene lugar en la península de Yucatán, en México, y ejemplifica el papel cada vez más importante de la tecnología innovadora en los esfuerzos de adaptación climática.  En esta versión, escucharán directamente a tres expertos de WWF: Alejandra Calzada, Nicole Chabaneix y Gonzalo Sanson. Ellos comparten cómo la combinación de inteligencia artificial con el conocimiento local está ayudando a proteger ecosistemas críticos y a fortalecer la resiliencia de las comunidades.  También nos complace señalar que el anfitrión, Doug Parsons, participa en algunas de las entrevistas —en español— por lo que agradecemos su comprensión mientras asume el reto de hacer el programa más accesible.

Gracias a WWF México por colaborar con America Adapts en este episodio especial.

8 Climate Adaptation Recommendations for the Biden Administration with Dr. Carolyn Kousky of The Wharton School12 Jan 202101:06:59

In episode 128 of America Adapts, Doug Parsons hosts Dr. Carolyn Kousky, the Executive Director at the Wharton Risk Management and Decision Processes Center at the University of Pennsylvania. Carolyn has developed 8 recommendations for the incoming Biden administration to prioritize climate adaptation. We go through each of the recommendations, which cover topics ranging from disaster preparedness, strengthening our infrastructure to utilizing nature based approaches to adaptation. The recommendations are a timely and important contribution as President Biden begins his efforts to mitigate AND adapt to climate change.

8 Recommendations for Climate Resilience:

  1. Provide just disaster mitigation and assistance.
  2. Make recovery easier.
  3. Improve the financial resilience of households, small businesses, and communities.
  4. Annually fund actions to lower our risk.
  5. Rebuild for the future, not the past.
  6. Strengthen our infrastructure.
  7. Harness nature for risk reduction.
  8. Pay for resilience investments by fighting climate change and inequality.

  • History of the US military thinking about climate change.
  • Developing climate curricula for the military officer class.
  • Does the DoD actually see climate change as a direct military threat?
  • Learn what branch is farther ahead on climate planning.

  • What can we expect in an Biden Administration.

Dismantling F.E.M.A. : The Unmaking of Federal Climate Resilience from the Inside Out with Victoria Salinas05 May 202500:50:05

In episode 228 of America Adapts, host Doug Parsons speaks with Victoria Salinas, Senior Fellow at the Climate Resilience Institute at the University of Miami and former Deputy Administrator for Resilience at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the Biden administration. Victoria shares her journey into federal service, including her decision to join FEMA at a critical juncture for the agency. She reflects on FEMA's traditionally reactive role and her efforts to reshape it into a more proactive force for community resilience—breaking down silos, emphasizing equity, and building a culture focused on climate risk reduction. The conversation explores key programs from her portfolio, including the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) grant program, with a focus on supporting underserved communities and using data to target resources where they are needed most. She addresses the current political climate and discusses the dismantling of climate adaptation programs at FEMA.  Despite her concern over recent setbacks, she offers a hopeful message for public servants, emphasizing the enduring value of service, equity, and innovation in climate resilience. This episode is a timely and candid reflection on what's at stake for climate adaptation in the United States—and what it will take to keep resilience on the national agenda.

Transcript available here.

Victoria Salinas Quotes:

"My kind of reflection on this has been that, firstly, I had believed, and I think we're finding out wrongly, that disaster management and helping people basically reducing human suffering caused by disasters, I thought that was apolitical, right? Like that it would transcend political spectrums. And because they're dismantling so many of the programs that are aimed at reducing disaster risk, unfortunately, as you've seen, FEMA has become hyper-politicized."

"We're not just funding infrastructure — we're funding trust. When we partner with communities early, we build the kind of trust that saves lives when a crisis hits."

"You can have the best resilience policy on paper, but if it doesn't survive a change in administration, it's not really resilient."

The Biggest Short: Climate Change meets the 30-Year Home Mortgage with Dr. Jesse Keenan13 Jul 202000:33:57

In episode 116 of America Adapts, Doug Parsons hosts frequent pod guest Dr. Jesse Keenan of Tulane University. Jesse discusses his new research paper on how sea level rise will impact the viability of the 30 year home mortgage, the foundation of much of the home ownership in the United States. We also discuss how local banks are being more aggressive in avoiding risky coastal loans; Jesse's new faculty position at Tulane University; what is 'underwaterwriting' and much more!

Topics covered:

  • Will climate change hasten the demise of the 30 year mortgage loan in coastal areas?
  • What is "underwaterwriting" in terms of real estate.
  • Jesse talks about his new paper that looks at these
  • Are coastal homebuyers more sophisticated than we give them credit for?
  • Jesse talks about his move from Harvard to Tulane University in New Orleans.
  • The role of local banks in making less risky loans in coastal areas.
  • How mortgage finance will evolve in response to climate impacts in coastal areas, flood zones and from wildfire prone areas.

Adapting Conservation to Climate Change at WWF – Re-Release30 Jun 202001:21:14

In episode 115 of America Adapts, a re-release of episode 80, "Adapting Conservation to Climate Change at WWF", Doug Parson joins World Wildlife Fund's Shaun Martin to revisit this episode and to see the progress that has been made from when it was originally released on Dec. 17th, 2018. In the original episode we take a behind the scenes look at how WWF is adapting conservation to the new realities of climate change and helping governments prepare for the future in ways that ensure a place for nature. During this 8-month journey, Doug follows how WWF is developing a simple process to integrate climate change risks into its strategies and documents the challenges and triumphs they face along the way. This episode features WWF staff from 20 countries on 5 continents, telling stories on a wide range of topics including elephants, super-typhoons, and urban water scarcity – all served up with a strong dose of instant coffee and a side of chicken gizzards!

Topics covered:

  • Part 1: Prelude – A world tour to learn how climate change is already affecting WWF's conservation work in Africa, Asia and Latin America. @1:26.
  • Part 2: CLICSNAP – Thirty WWF staff from around the world convene in Nairobi to develop climate-smarting principles for conservation and National Adaptation Plans and have a lot of fun doing so! @17:10
  • Part 3: Follow up – WWF staff from Vietnam, Norway and Mexico talk about their experiences using the CLICSNAP process developed in Kenya with colleagues back in their home offices, and Shaun Martin talks about what's next for WWF's adaptation journey. @1:24:32

Dr. Michael Mann: The Climate Knight Rises – Australia Bushfires + Covid19 + Climate Denialism + Michael Moore's new Anti-Environment movie and much more!18 May 202000:51:26

In episode 112 of America Adapts, Doug Parsons hosts for the third time, famed climatologist Dr. Michael Mann. Mike comes on to discuss his recent sabbatical in Sydney, Australia, just as the bushfires raged out of control. We discuss the conservative media in Australia and how the continent is uniquely susceptible to the impacts of climate change. We also discuss how the anti-science response to the Covid19 pandemic mirrors much of what he's encountered in the climate denial movement. We also briefly discuss Michael Moore's anti-green energy movie. Great conversation with the famed 'hockey stick' scientist!   

Topics covered:

  • Mann on sabbatical in Australia!
  • On location in the middle of the Australia Bushfires.
  • How Covid19 is related to climate denialism.
  • How Michael Moore's new anti-environment movie is so dangerous.
  • Rupert Murdoch anti-climate media in Oz.
  • Mann just elected to the prestigious National Academy of Sciences!

The Wild, Wild West of Climate Modeling…Just Got Wilder12 Apr 202501:10:52

In episode 227 of America Adapts, we are re-releasing one of the more popular episodes of the podcast — my interview with Madison Condon, a law professor at Boston University. In our original conversation, we explored the critical role climate modeling plays in climate adaptation, including: what climate models can — and can't — do; the concept of the "climate industrial complex"; legal liability for inaccurate climate projections and the role of climate analytics firms like First Street Foundation.  When this episode first aired, there was still a general assumption that the federal government would continue to support the vast public infrastructure behind climate data and modeling. That assumption no longer holds. Federal agencies are now actively dismantling the systems that deliver open, accessible climate data — a dangerous retreat from a public good relied on by scientists, communities, and the private sector alike.

Following the original interview, we've added a brand-new interview with Madison to reflect on what's changed, what we're at risk of losing with the federal pullback, and why this shift toward privatized climate data should concern all of us. If you've already heard the original episode and want to jump straight to the new conversation, it begins around the 58 minute mark.

Topics covered in original interview:

  • The Federal Reserve "is a climate laggard."
  • What are climate models and what can and can't they do?
  • What is the "climate industrial complex"?
  • How right, is "right" enough when it comes to climate models?
  • Could climate analytic/modeling companies be held liable for bad projections?
  • The role of climate analytic groups like First Street Foundation.
  • Do we need a "National Climate Service" to provide basic climate data?
  • Do adaptation planners understand the role of climate models in their work?

Transcript of original interview with Madison available here.

Transcript of second, recent interview with Madison available here.

Adapting to Climate Change during a Pandemic + Bonus - Early Adaptation Legislation in the 1970s20 Apr 202000:44:34

In episode 110 of America Adapts, Doug Parsons hosts two adaptation professionals, Shaun Martin of World Wildlife Fund and Emily Wasley of WSP to discuss how they are focusing on their jobs during a pandemic. Both share the changes in their work environment and how they are able to maintain their adaptation efforts in these trying times. Also, Dr. Gabriel Henderson comes on to share a paper he wrote that looks at early efforts to develop climate adaptation legislation during the Carter administration. Learn how these early efforts at resilience inform what we are seeing today in the adaptation space.

Topics covered:

  • Interview with Shaun Martin of World Wildlife Fund on how his adaptation program is responding to the pandemic.
  • How 'flattening the curve' for Covid-19 can be applied to climate change.
  • Emily Wasley of WSP discusses how she's responding to the pandemic and how WSP is continuing their adaptation work.
  • Gabriel Henderson discusses a paper he published looking at the early history of climate resilience/adaptation that was proposed the late 1970s!
  • Discussion of how early efforts at resilience planning informed later adaptation efforts.

Impacts of Rising Heat on Labor Markets and Public Education with Dr. Jisung Park of UCLA11 Mar 202001:05:19

In episode 108 of America Adapts, Doug Parsons hosts Dr. Jisung Park, assistant professor at the Luskin School of Public Affairs at UCLA.  The two talk about Jisung's research, showing how increased temperatures can negatively impact student academic performance. Also, rising temperatures can lower worker productively, seriously impacting the labor market. As the world warms, what will that mean for the world's economy. We also discuss the positives and negatives of adaptation solutions (air conditioning) to these emerging problems. Jisung also shares how UCLA is training the next generation of adaptation professionals.

Foundations and Transformational Climate Adaptation: A Roadmap for Funders31 Mar 202500:58:58

In episode 226 of America Adapts, Dr. Susanne Moser, a world leading expert in climate adaptation returns to discuss a new report she's co-authored, The Tasks of Now: Toward a New Era in Climate Resilience Building. We explore how adaptation strategies have evolved—and why we need to shift from incremental approaches to truly transformational action.  Susi makes a compelling case for "multisolving"—tackling climate, social, and economic challenges together—and outlines the urgent need for better coordination, deeper investment, and a more justice-oriented approach to resilience. We talk about the funding gaps holding this work back, the untapped role of the private sector, and why foundations have a unique opportunity to lead especially considering the massive pull back on climate action from the federal government. We also dig into something that is often overlooked: communication. Susi and I talk about why effective outreach and engagement are not just extras—they're core to successful adaptation, and they need to be funded accordingly.  If you're working in or funding climate adaptation, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.

Transcript of conversation available here.
