In this week’s episode, Manann Donoghoe, a climate resilience researcher at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. originally from Australia, explores how researchers are thinking through the real, local impacts of climate.
He’s focused on using policy to make large-scale change and finding ways for communities to adapt better—researching methods for risk reduction before and after climate events.
Stuart and Manann sit down to discuss where we can bridge the gap between the climate policy and the devastating local impacts of climate disasters; and how individuals without policy expertise can begin to tangibly contribute to the challenges of extreme weather-related events.
