| | | CAF14-205 | | Climate Change Risks in the Supply Chain: The Weak Link? Speakers: Susanne Moser, Director and Principal Researcher, Susanne Moser Research & Consulting, Stanford University; Chris Erickson, President and CEO, Climate Earth Inc.; Robert Dickinson, President, Argos Analytics, LLC; MODERATOR: Emilie Mazzacurati, Founder and CEO, Four Twenty Seven Climate change is set to impact agricultural and human systems around the world, significantly disrupting global and local supply chains. This session identifies what tools and data are needed to prevent or lessen climate-related disruptions in the supply chain. We discuss examples of weather-related crises that exemplify the risks brought about by climate change in the supply chain, and think through what monitoring, communication and analysis tools might have helped them prevent or reduce the impacts, or shorten the duration of the crisis. The session features demos of innovative tools and applications to assess and monitor risks in the supply chain. | | MP3 | | $10.00 | | $10.00 | |
| | | CAF14-207 | | Next Steps for Integrating Land-use, Water & Ecosystem Adaptation Planning Speakers: Michelle Selmon, Senior Environmental Scientist, California Department of Water Resources, South Central Region Office; Michael Boswell, Ph.D., AICP, Professor, California Polytechnic State University, City and Regional Planning Department; Armand Gonzales, Special Advisor, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Climate Science and Renewable Energy Branch; Jessi Kershner, Lead Scientist, EcoAdapt; MODERATOR: Erin Chappell, Senior Environmental Scientist, California Department of Water Resources Climate change adaptation planning is a rapidly growing field in part due to the many agencies and organizations that have been proactive in developing new tools and planning processes to support adaptation in their respective sectors. However, there is a growing awareness that greater benefits, efficiencies, and opportunities could be realized by moving beyond the traditional, sector-specific planning to a broader cross-sector approach. This session will: (1) highlight tools and processes for assessing climate change vulnerabilities to support adaptation planning in the water, land use, and ecosystem sectors; (2) help to identify commonalities in methods and overlapping goals in those efforts; and (3) facilitate a robust discussion on how we can integrate strategies to promote effective cross-sector planning in California and help build a framework for how to better connect the climate adaptation planning being conducted by local land use planners, water managers and natural resources managers. | | MP3 | | $10.00 | | $10.00 | |
