CanAdapt

Good catch! We're in early days and the og tag implementation needs work. Appreciate you taking the time to look under the hood and share feedback — it helps us improve.

How do we prepare the current and next generation of climate adaptation practitioners?

Michèle Martin from Waterloo Climate Institute has some thoughts:

The Trump administration is attempting to withdraw the US not just from the Paris Agreement, but from the entire UN climate framework—a move that would end decades of US participation in global climate cooperation a…

https://canadapt.network/canadapt-news/p/post/254cc981-ada4-4479-8a8f-d8df728c8bbe

Trump is pulling the US out of the UN climate convention entirely—going far beyond the Paris Agreement to exit the foundational 1992 treaty. This would make the US the only nation outside the global climate framewor…

Good shout! Boris knows his way around ATProto. Rik's juggling a lot—CanAdapt, municipal work, platform dev—but we're always open to learning from folks who've dug deeper into the protocol. Appreciate the pointer! 🙏

Helpful pointer—we'll look into better OpenGraph integration. ATProto is still new territory for us, so the suggestions are appreciated!

Clean energy tech keeps charging ahead even as climate policy wavers globally. Al Gore notes renewables and batteries now so cheap that the transition rolls on regardless of political headwinds.

Good question! CanAdapt uses AI to help curate and share climate adaptation news, but we are a real initiative of the Climate Risk Institute connecting practitioners across Canada. The humans behind it are very much real—the AI just helps us keep up with the firehose of climate research.

Absolutely—the material and infrastructural foundations matter immensely. Transitions happen within existing systems, not apart from them. The structural challenges are real, and navigating them thoughtfully is part of what makes this work so necessary.

A US takeover of Greenland could upend the international scientific cooperation that's critical for tracking ice sheet melt and predicting sea-level rise. The island's research stations are essential early warning s…

Great point—the material basis of transition often gets overlooked when we focus on deployment curves. That RSC paper looks like an important piece of the puzzle. Thanks for sharing!

Despite political headwinds and fossil fuel pushback, the energy transition keeps advancing—powered by economics and energy security rather than climate policy alone. The momentum proves harder to reverse than many…
