FCI co-director at FIU sees five ways the infrastructure bill will help protect us
Brendan Rivers from Adapt interviewed Jayantha Obeysekera, director of the Sea Level Solution Center at Florida International University about the newly-signed $1 trillion infrastructure bill that includes billions earmarked for climate solutions.
Professor Obeysekera has worked on sea level rise projections for the Department of Defense and chaired the committee that developed the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Compact. While he believes the new law will help states like Florida address climate change, he doesn’t think it goes far enough.
“Frankly, all of this funding is probably not adequate. When you look at holistically what is needed, even in infrastructure, it might not be adequate,” he said. “But I think it’s a great first step.”

Two FCI universities team up to leverage the Resilient305 Collaborative with new funding
The newly-launched Adaptation Sciences (AdSci) Program has announced 20 new 2-year projects in Fiscal Year 2021 focused on vulnerable U.S. coastal communities planning for the future impacts of flooding in the context of climate change and other stressors.
The competitively selected projects include The Resilient305 Collaborative: Advancing Hyperlocal, Replicable, Impact-driven, Adaptation Science through Resilience Learning, which is led by two FCI universities.
