Two Degrees Adapt

Covid-19 has underlined the critical importance of broadband infra. for the global economy. However, @TwoDegreesAdapt has found that flooding driven by sea-level rise and intense storms presents a significant risk to this asset bit.ly/2WbyTWP (1/7)

Join @cmwellenkamp @TwoDegreesAdapt @DucksUnlimited and @QuantifiedVTS on April 20th to learn how we are planning to finance and deploy natural infrastructure for climate resilience of the Mississippi River Valley tinyurl.com/2trzyncu

We are working with Mississippi River Cities and Towns Initiative (@cmwellenkamp)and @Cargill to study efficacy of #NatureBasedSolutions for Climate Resilience in Mississippi river valley. Click tinyurl.com/y2tuusje to learn more and how to participate

Backwater flooding in the Mississippi River from space. Look at this @NASA slider of the MS flood- and check out the big pool of water due south of the, "M." There's so much water in the river that water from nearby streams has trouble draining. #731-mississippi-river-floods" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">climate.nasa.gov/images-of-chan…

Finally, equipment manufacturers should invest in waterproof technology, and work with @TwoDegreesAdapt to build ISP partnerships. Each player must take these distinct actions to ensure a climate-resilient future of connectivity (7/7)

@TwoDegreesAdapt recommends ISPs work with us to estimate risk by building multiple scenarios, and to seek manufacturer partnerships. Government organizations should encourage local governments to reduce fees associated with fiber optic permits to encourage adaptation. (6/7)

We will be watching the “Growing Climate Solutions Act of 2020” on Capitol Hill. Many of the management practices that result in carbon sequestration in fields, pastures, and forests ALSO increase #climateresilience.

REITs should plan for multiple scenarios including some with converging flood risks, quantify associated changes in asset value, insurance, and tax figures, invest in on-site water management, and lobby in support of state adaptation measures (6/6)

The stormwater infrastructure within the city is perhaps the best place for #REITs to invest in. We recommend bioswales,rain gardens, permeable pavers and green roofs close to pumping stations and underground water retention through financing vehicles such PACE (5/6)

With tropical storm #cristobal headed for @CityOfNOLA today with a risk of high flooding, our recent blog on how #REITs should build resilience to their climate risks in New Orleans is very timely bit.ly/375JQNQ (1/6)

#REITs considering expanding their portfolios should analyze how cities are responding to #climaterisk and how to optimize their #adaptation investments. A new blog series from @TwoDegreesAdapt highlights a variety of US cities. First up: #SanFrancisco bit.ly/3dN3W1q

Congratulations to our co-founder @BrianSmoliak who recently earned the Certified Consulting Meteorologist (CCM) designation from @ametsoc
