Can culture and heritage be catalysts for climate resilience?
Cultural heritage and local knowledge can be powerful levers for climate resilience and should be embedded into policies, planning and finance.

Canada’s Carney rolls back climate rules to boost investments
In its deal with Alberta, Canada will scrap emissions cap on the oil and gas sector, among other moves.

Few American cities are more vulnerable to sea level rise than New York City. The coastal community of Edgemere, Queens was among the hardest-hit during Superstorm Sandy. A decade later, residents still wait for promised flood protections.

It's no coincidence that those struggling to accept the truth about climate change are often the same people struggling to accept immigration is just part of how the world works and are often the same people struggling to accept that some people are born gay or trans and that's part of human nature.

A little pet peeve. It’s not exactly that tropical rainforests have “gone from being allies in the fight against climate breakdown to being part of the problem.” Forests lose carbon when people cut them (or via fire) and gain carbon when trees grow. It’s that the losing is outweighing the gaining.
