FEMA Releases National Resilience Guidance: A Collaborative Approach to Building Resilience

The United States faces an increasingly complex set of challenges from shocks and stressors to our systems. By understanding these challenges and applying a unified, whole community approach to addressing them, we can strengthen our collective security and resilience so that we can overcome these ever-evolving challenges and thrive as a nation.

PLEASE TAKE THIS BRIEF SURVEY!

Environmental Defense Fund, a nonprofit that advocates for coastal and flood resilience, is seeking input to position Florida as a leader in nature-based solutions (NBS), including natural areas and artificial structures that harness nature.



Professionals working in Florida on any aspect of implementing NBS, from planning and constructing to monitoring and maintenance, are encouraged to complete a brief survey identifying recommendations that reduce barriers to and incentivize these vital solutions.

Documents, Whistleblowers, and Public Comments Are Clear: Oil Companies Know Carbon Capture Is Not a Climate Solution

This spring, Democrats wrapped up a nearly three-year investigation into the fossil fuel industry’s role in climate disinformation, and asked the Department of Justice to pick up where they left off.

In House and Senate Democrats’ final report and hearing, investigators concluded that major oil companies had not only misled the public on climate change for decades, but also were continuing to misinform them about the industry’s preferred climate “solutions”— particularly biofuels and carbon capture.
