Resilient Cities
We need to adapt our cities to be more resilient in the face of climate change, and one place to start is with our buildings. This infographic explores building adaptations that can make our cities more resilient and livable.
Adaptation Solution Research
Research and evaluate a climate change adaptation solution of your choice. By digging into a single strategy, you’ll be better equipped to assess and understand the value of adaptation solutions you encounter in the future.
The Need for Climate Innovators
We need innovators from a wide range of backgrounds to solve the climate problem. Explore the different ways experts from many fields are working together to make climate solutions a reality, which will help you think about the different paths you could take to become a climate innovator.
Working the Levers of Climate Action
With a problem as complex and global as climate change, effectively implementing climate action isn’t always easy. We’ll think about how we implement solutions along with the levers of action (individual, business, and government) that can help us achieve our goals.
Understanding the Green Premium
Green premiums make climate-friendly choices costly—but fossil fuels have their own hidden costs, too. We’ll need to reduce green premiums through continued to innovation to make climate-friendly options more accessible and widespread.
