“As Mark Gongloff explains, it is “tough to focus on the future of the climate when your stomach is grumbling and you’re not sure you can cover the rent.”
Saw this quote as a good example of why we don’t focus on climate, climateadaptation, infrastructure and maintenance risks until.….
It exemplifies the need to do a climate risk assessment with an adaptation solution. “After all when we buy land we look at local schools, closeness to buses, good area for other amenities. why not climate, infrastructure, maintenance and insurance risks of the area. “
When it happens to you personally like Cyclone Gabrielle, Esk Valley, or Libya floods, identified history and risks- have been ignored, rationalised or forgotten. It is only when events happen affected people sit up and take notice, cry for help, only to find response delayed, never enough, it’s your neighbours who are the first responders, supporters when the light fades on the issue. Countries/regions/insurance companies only have so much money to spend on infrastructure and reinstatement. it literally is the pipes beneath your feet.
