    The new push comes amid concern from people who work on climate adaptation that it doesn't seem to be much of a priority for Biden's team, whose climate hires and EOs so far show a focus on cutting emissions.

    A group of well-known climate resilience & adaptation experts just released a list of asks for the Biden team, starting with hiring somebody at the White House to work on resilience.

    This was a really personal story for me. Much more personal than I even realized when I started out. I’m new to climate reporting. The facts, if you truly let them in, break your heart and your brain. So how crazy is a person supposed to go? 1/3

    At remote , calls on every country, city and company "to adopt credible plans backed by intermediate goals for transitioning to net zero emissions by 2050." Translation: Show how you get to net zero. That includes China (no plan yet) and U.S. (no target yet)

    Great tool from Bloomberg tracking vaccine doses by country. One takeaway: For all the concerns about America’s vaccination campaign, per capita, the US has administered 3x as many doses as Canada.
