It was a pleasure serving on this panel in DC. North Carolina's state and local governments are making progress on addressing climate change thanks to the many partnerships with academia and beyond.

[Duke State Relations @DukeStateGovRel]

Kicked off the 1st “NC in DC” event of 2024 this week to discuss extreme weather preparedness and resiliency in NC. We had a wonderful panel of experts representing healthcare, agriculture, the faith-based community, and the state. #DukeinNC #ncpol

[Duke in DC @DukeinDC]

Our first NC in DC of the year, "Building Extreme Weather Resilience in North Carolina" was a wonderful gathering! Thanks to all, especially our panelists, who helped to drive an engaging conversation about the work being done at multiple levels to make our state more resilient.

I'm thrilled to see this launch in NC! And I'm proud to be working with the Heat Policy Innovation Hub team, the @NCSCO, and @ncdhhs on a heat management protocol template for local governments in NC.

Summer is starting with something new to beat #ExtremeHeat! The Heat Policy Innovation Hub brings together @DukeU scholars, government agencies, communities, and stakeholders to develop and deploy heat policy solutions that could ultimately save lives. https://t.co/0QtsnavRSP

@IEReporter I'm so sorry to hear this. Thanks for your great coverage the past few years!!

I vehemently oppose this legislation. In addition to its implications for students & faculty of all races, there is a classism component. DeSantis says, "If you want to do things like gender ideology, [go out state, which costs way more]." #disgusted

New pub from the @sunny_day_flood team! Our new sensors detected water on the road 24x in 5 months in coastal NC - flooding is happening more often than common proxies (e.g., NOAA HTF counts) suggest b/c we capture the impacts of rain (1/4 of our events were rain + tide).

Innovation makes useful things smaller and smaller. Overconsumption makes things bigger and bigger. Bigger vehicles and larger homes for fewer people is not progress. HT @fietsprofessor for graphic

To help communities spread the word about the dangers of #extremeheat, Beat the Heat's @TownClarksville and @StellarRichmond created a heat-preparedness toolbox with content for anyone to use.

High heat has affected millions of Americans this summer, including Hoosiers. As Indiana communities face increasing risks from #extremeheat, planning becomes more important. See how @TownClarksville and @StellarRichmond are responding. https://t.co/pq4BpKtNNx

@loufoodcoop A long time coming. Congratulations!

I spoke with another woman today who had her last e-bike stolen and won’t buy another bc still no safe place to park it. Can we allocate a fraction of the brain energy we spend on car parking to cycle parking?

[Andrea Webster @andreamwebster]

@Prepared4Change Congrats, Lizzie!
