How We Adapt: Climate Change on the West Coast with Marketplace

Molly Wood, host of Marketplace’s ‘How We Survive,’ moderated a conversation with journalists from public radio stations in Seattle, Portland, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Southern California about the boldest and most thoughtful solutions coming from their regions.

What policies and emerging technologies may help us stem rising global temperatures and their most severe outcomes? What green solutions are poised to create the industry giants of the next decade? What innovations are enticing investors to fund climate change projects? How are communities, industry, the public sector working together—or at odds—to turn things around? The panel addressed these regional concerns, along with audience questions, together as they explored the future of climate adaptation.

Guests:

• Sharon McNary, KPCC

• Jes Burns, OPB

• Molly Wood, Marketplace’s ‘How We Survive’ (moderator)

Co-Presented by KPCC, KQED, KUOW, OPB, and American Public Media.
