2017 has brought intense weather events to the United States. From hurricanes to wildfires, flooding to droughts.
What can we do to be better prepared for these events, which many researchers say are continuing to increase in intensity because of climate change?
One man says the answer is “climate change resilience.” John Holdren is a professor of environmental policy at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. He served as Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy for all eight years of the Obama Administration.
Holdren is speaking Monday evening at the University of Illinois’ Institute of Sustainability, Energy and Environment’s (iSEE's) annual Congress in Urbana.
Illinois Public Media’s Brian Moline spoke with Holdren about “climate change resilience.”
