| | | CAF14-117 | | Resilience in a Risky World: An Introduction to Emerging Private-Sector Risk Management Frameworks Speakers: Bill Mueller, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Valley Vision; Jamesine Rogers, Project Manager, The Risky Business Project; Alex Porteshawver, Consulting Climate Action Plan Coordinator, Sonoma State University/City of Benicia; MODERATOR: Noel Perry, Founder, Next 10 Addressing adaptation head-on requires active engagement in a risk-management dialogue. Although the private sector as a whole has been less engaged with climate change, they have an incredible toolbox for fiscal risk management that can and should be brought to bear on climate change. A number of organizations have been working towards economic risk management frameworks for climate change, with a variety of interesting and valuable results. This session brings this dialogue to the fore, as a panel of leading thinkers and practitioners from Deloitte, LLP, Valley Vision, Next10 and The Risky Business Project, share organizational, regional and national scale risk management frameworks for understanding (and valuing) the economic risks of climate change. Gain a new set of analytic lenses through which to consider economic uncertainty caused by climate change and tools to manage climate risk. | | MP3 | | $10.00 | | $10.00 | |
| | | CAF14-206 | | Climate Communications: From Research to Practice Speakers: Celinda Lake, President, Lake Research Partners; Francesca Koe, Director of Campaigns, NRDC; Caroline Hodge, Research Manager, ecoAmerica; MODERATOR: Meighen Speiser, Chief Engagement Officer, MomentUs, ecoAmerica Climate change is not a narrow issue, yet it concerns a narrow population. We must reach beyond the “base” – to conservatives, rural, communities of color – all Americans. Opinion surveys show concern for health, economy, public safety, infrastructure, and energy security – yet low concern for climate change. The implications of climate in individual and community well-being requires that communicators mainstream the issue as a driving factor in health, safety, security, prosperity, and community for all. There is opportunity to advance Americans’ engagement on climate by drawing these issues together and aligning with the center of American values. This session features experts in social science research, marketing research, and public opinion polling, and advocates who have used these tools to develop and deploy programs and communications to move Americans into action on climate. | | MP3 | | $10.00 | | $10.00 | |
