Climate change is impacting the ways we get around. When it comes to transportation, climate adaptation is about changing how we think, and about making decisions today that will contribute to resilient transportation systems in the future. Given all the different ways the climate is changing, how will we get ‘from here to there?’ How can climate data help us manage uncertainty when assessing and adapting to risk in a warming world?
ClimateData.ca is proud to announce the launch of a podcast pilot series called “From Here to There” that explores the stories of professionals who work with the transportation sector and shares their climate adaptation stories. Join us as we discuss the value of adaptation thinking and build curiosity about the potential of climate solutions in the transportation sector. Find out more about each episode below!
This podcast is geared toward those whose work supports decision-making across a broad spectrum of professions and locations, with a particular focus on the transportation sector. Across three episodes, you will hear stories that will inspire you to reframe how you think about adaptation. Tune in if you are a planner, engineer, analyst, technologist, manager, designer, responsible for maintenance, operation, or construction activities, or if you are simply a climate adaptation enthusiast. We’re all part of the wider climate adaptation story, and we all have a role to play in building resilience.
