Can adaptation accelerate climate action?
After a summer of apocalyptic headlines, a new survey finds that people across the political spectrum are deeply concerned about preparing for the effects of global warming. The adaptation imperative may end up being the kind of crisis that forces us to stop neglecting the green agenda and act at the necessary scale.

A workable social contract for the climate transition
Economic insecurity and growing distrust in institutions are undermining governments’ ability to sustain support for climate action. To rebuild that support, they must show that climate policies can reduce household bills, create decent jobs, and ensure that the biggest emitters pay their fair share.

Europe is fiddling while Rome burns
Focusing only on emergency planning, disaster response, and recovery after each climate catastrophe is no longer enough in Europe. Policymakers urgently need to start mapping Europe’s long-term future, which will require a fundamental overhaul of its infrastructure, energy system, and major economic sectors.
Consumption demand, which has long powered America’s formidable economy, rests on the promise of cheap energy. But the Trump administration has conflated that with fossil fuels, confusing historic correlation with causation and, in the process, jeopardizing long-term prosperity.
