Few public organizations have attracted the ire of the Trump administration like the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). America’s premier disaster response unit found itself the target of right-wing conspiracy theories ahead of the 2024 election, and earned a seemingly intractable enemy in…
Financial losses from climate hazards are piling up. CEOs and major investors are sounding off in public on the perils of physical risks. But the market for adaptation solutions is yet to take off. Why? In this episode, Danya Liu — Climate Adaptation Specialist at BloombergNEF — shares her …
