" #ClimateAction often comes down to cities. That's where the rubber meets the road. We hosted a bike tour through #Calgary & we had somebody from the city that had worked on #FloodMitigation & it's BEAUTIFUL work. I go by it on the bike every day & I never even really thought of it as flood stuff."

The Fourth of July flood bore a striking similarity to the Hill Country flood that killed 10 summer campers in 1987. In the following years, officials took little action to protect against the next storm.

Copenhagen is becoming spongier to handle future flooding, with nature-based and engineered projects underway.

The concept emerged after a massive storm hit the city in 2011, as reported by Yale Environment 360.

Harris County commissioners vote to proceed with some flood bond projects amidst $1 billion shortfall

The approval secures certain flood mitigation projects approved by voters in 2018 after Hurricane Harvey, including ones that rely on funding partnerships. The projects were at risk of being cut as the county faces a shortfall on its record $2.5 billion flood bond program.

An upset Climeworks donor is conplaining they’ve given ~$2,000 to them, and now none of their ~3 tonnes have been sequestered, in fact it’s only funded more emissions.

For $2,000 you could sponsor ~750 trees, with a survival rate of 80% guaranteed. Most of them will do a tonne eventually, and more importantly it’s not just helping #ClimateAction but #BiodiversityCrisis #FloodMitigation #FoodSecurity and it’s a nice place to wander about, maybe with a dog. https://shop.protect.earth/
