Emily Cunningham

Guess what: We are here (pointing to one of the darkest reddest spots on the map). Explains a lot about the struggles of the last couple of years.

I don't know what my friend will do. If I had to guess she will persevere, and in so doing break some ground about resilience for the rest of her region who will experience in decades what she's going through now.

Anyway, it's all brought back that afternoon long ago...but what I really want to do is to try to bring what I've learned forward apply to my work, urge you to consider applying it to yours.

1. How could coming changes as best you can see them (to democracay, to climate, to economy) but your work at risk? Can you protect against any of it? Can you diversify the seeds you plant?

Beth, I love the thread, but am having a hard time imagining how to apply points 1 and 2. Is there a case study you could share to help make this more concrete? For instance, what would you have done differently in the training you co-lead?

Good questions. Maybe to take what I know of your work @emahlee....you are working to move your company to a lower carbon footprint...say you were to focus on instituting cleaner energy, but then, due to warming we can't prevent, air conditioning needs in facilities go up

eroding you initial effort. If you play that out (and maybe you already have) you'd be emphasizing efficiency, and design for a warming climate and passive cooling, etc. So that's an example of #1 above.
