Thanks to Louie Woodall and Climate Proof for this recent reporting on the state of the White House's new report on Climate Resilience Game Changers! 🔬
Last week, The White House issued the Climate Resilience Game Changers Assessment, a kinda-sorta taxonomy of adaptation/resilience investments, innovations, and practices that could harden the US against worsening climate shocks. In the latest edition of Climate Proof, we dive into the Assessment and get into how it could tempt investors to get more involved in the adaptation space, and where it may lack substance. With thanks to Verena Radulovic, Katie MacDonald, and John Robinson for their comments! Want Climate Proof in your inbox twice a week? Then sign up here.

It is #NationalHeatAwarenessDay! Check out this post from Tailwind Co-Founder Katie MacDonald on a new 'Heat and Health' tool launched today by the Biden-Harris Administration 🌡 Emilie Mazzacurati
Today is #NationalHeatAwarenessDay - a day that reminds us that extreme heat remains the largest source of deaths across weather-related hazards ☀ We hit a record number of heat related deaths in the US last year. The death certificates of over 2,300 people in 2023 in the United States mentioned excessive heat as cause of mortality (and a study from Texas A&M estimates the total number of actual heat related deaths was over 11,000). Given the enormity and seriousness of this challenge, it is great to see today's announcement from the Biden-Harris Administration about the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)'s newly minted 'Heat and Health Tool' for communities! This tool combines: 🌡 Historic temperature data 🚨 Emergency Medical Services (EMS) data on heat-related emergency responses 📊 Data on community characteristics, including pre-existing health conditions, socio-demographic information, and characteristics of the natural and built environment It then uses these data to provide a final heat and health index ranking by ZIP code, which can be used to empower strategic, data-informed decision-making. Spread the word, check it out, and stay cool! 💪 #heatseason #summer2024 https://lnkd.in/eTfUSUk7
