Was such a privilege to work with this team! ♥️
By far my favorite paper this year.
A collaboration between Mapuche elders—including Machi Patricia—and ecologists, reflecting on building trust and shared understanding in the face of environmental crisis.

The cancellation of this critically important program will increase vulnerability of communities to extreme heat, just as heat season ramps up in the US. @laddkeith.com
A federal program to protect US cities against extreme heat has just evaporated

The administration is taking aim at the science needed to help Americans adapt to climate change, even as it pushes fossil fuels.
I joined two of my fellow regional directors of USGS Climate Adaptation Science Centers, which face imminent elimination, to highlight the value of adaptation science.

As US doubles down on fossil fuels, communities will have to adapt to the consequences − yet climate adaptation funding is on the chopping block
The administration wants to cut funding for programs that help communities adapt to wildfire risk, sea-level rise and invasive species, among many other risks.
