The Fight for Climate After Covid-19 with Alice Hill

In this episode, Doug Parsons talks with returning guest Alice Hill about her new book, The Fight for Climate After Covid-19. We discuss what inspired her to write the book; how her experiences working on climate change and biodefense during the Obama Presidency informed her thinking; why we need a national adaptation plan; the critical need for political leadership in confronting crises like covid and climate change; and why we should 'marry' climate mitigation in adaptation.

Topics covered:

• What lessons can we learn from Covid-19th in dealing with climate change?
• We need a national adaptation plan.
• Why political leadership is absolutely critical in dealing with big issues.
• We need to 'marry' adaptation and mitigation and have them work together…when possible.
• Learning about the adaptation profession and what advice Alice can offer professionals in this space.
• Alice's experiences in the Obama White House and how that informs her adaptation work today.
