NEW Primer: With each extreme weather event, coal plant closure, & new technology, climate risks & opportunities become more apparent. Understanding how climate change impacts the 💵fiscal health💵 of local govts is key to thriving communities. @C2ES_org c2es.org/document/clima…

As we face another summer of record-breaking heatwaves, I sat down with @YahooFinance to discuss extreme heat's impact on the economy. We need more action from both the private and public sectors, and we need to cut the emissions driving up global temperatures in the first place.

Camille Millard, Preparedness & Resilience Coordinator for our office spoke today about the Larimer Connects Community Hubs program at the Envisioning Resilience Hubs & Microgrids in the North Front Range Workshop today hosted by the @C2ES_org! #ResilientNorthFrontRange

We’re excited to see microgrids and resilience hubs—two solutions identified in our Climate Resilient Communities Accelerator—featured in The @WhiteHouse’s assessment of game-changing innovations to bolster national climate #resilience. Check it out: ⤵️ bit.ly/3SjDVxd

"We must invest in a more resilient grid and economy while cutting the emissions that are driving up global temperatures in the first place," says C2ES President @NatKeohane for @YahooFinance on the impact of extreme heat on the economy and how companies are adapting.

Two more records fall Mon, Apr 30 in Calif 1) 24-hour min #WindWaterSolar reached 48.4% (prev record 47.7%) 2) Peak battery output rose to 6.76 GW (prev record 6.52 GW) Also, peak WWS: 134.5% of demand 24-h avg WWS: 79.2% of demand Batteries shifted 4.4% electricity to night

#WindWaterSolar supplied a 24-hour AVERAGE of 75.2% of Calif grid demand for last 10 days (4/19-4/28). Batteries shifted 3.7% of that #WWS supply from day to night and set new record, discharging 6.523 GW 4/27 Full record 44 of 52 days WWS>100% demand web.stanford.edu/group/efmh/jac…

NYC has become the first major US city to embed climate impacts into its budget decisions. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Cities take note! A new tax provision could be a game-changer for your community’s climate investments. Check out our new report with @usmayors to see how ‘direct pay’ could shave tens of millions off the cost of climate resilience & mitigation efforts. c2es.org/document/citie…

If this describes the competence of the @wef with regard to energy, I would be concerned for very different reasons... This is the stuff that makes engineers cry:

Investing in a low carbon, climate resilient economy is going to be understood as a cost-saving measure sooner than many are ready for.

Nothing better attests to creeping third worldization in America more than declining power reliability. The growing number of people who feel compelled to install generators is a negative societal indicator. nytimes.com/2023/05/06/bus…

Local communities are at risk of experiencing property damage and loss due to climate-related extreme weather events. @RockyMtnInst's blog series offers strategies to help these communities invest in proactive resilience measures. Check it out ⤵️ rockymntstage.wpengine.com/preparing-and-…

This is fascinating. The “power pose” people should maybe feel vindicated? “Motion and emotion and planning are linked in the brain, new research shows” via @NPR - npr.org/sections/healt…

The federal govt is coming to terms with the many ways climate impacts are already presenting real consequences to American life - and its own role in perpetuating this blind spot in decision making. The Daily presents an intro to the challenge: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

.@guilanpour's statement on the release of the @IPCC_CH latest synthesis report on climate change: c2es.org/press-release/…

Staggering images & storytelling of a long unfolding quandary. When developers & policymakers repeatedly ignore climate risk in the name of protecting economic benefit, it can get pretty impossible to… well, economically benefit.

By 2100, NYC will see as much as 6 ft of sea level rise, intense storms and heat waves that further strain our infrastructure systems. The burden will be greatest on communities with the fewest resources. RT if you agree: we must revitalize with ALL communities in mind.

Happy International Women's Day! We're celebrating women who have changed the world. Here's all of the amazing women who have received the #NobelPrize and their remarkable achievements at the time of the award. Who are the women who inspire you the most? #IWD2023
