Spent the day hosting a delegation from the #Ghana Institute of Policy and Management. Very exciting to collaborate with them on the formation of a #climate policy center, and student and faculty exchanges. So many of the challenges we both face WRT climate change are similar, we have a lot to gain from sharing resources, ideas, and information. Very glad to have the opportunity to discuss our collaborative multidisciplinary approach centered in environmental justice at #UConn #CIRCA.
Gov. Lamont (CT, US) just announced $8.8M in climate resilience grants for 21 plans and projects. CIRCA’s Resilient Connecticut team will be assisting with several projects.

Reviewing a paper my colleague @#CIRCA wrote for towns in CT considering renewable energy projects as a guide to incentives in the #IRA and WOW! this is the most #climate hopeful thing I’ve seen in a while. #Multisolving by incentivizing renewables, just transition labor, domestic production of materials, building affordable housing with integrated renewables/ storage. Hoping to see a lot of action in the next few years.

Happy moving to Mastodon.green!

@VGM several people on GTDConnect are doing it successfully. I’m migrating all my GTD customized process doc to an

Bob is in his late 70’s. His wife had lung #cancer survived, was in #hospital #circa April 2020 for #Covid & survived. But Bob doesn’t mask b/c he has no #clue. Came out to meet the food delivery at elevator. Saw Bob, cornered him in the laundry room, interviewed him & attempted to tell him why Covid is more #dangerous than ever
Bob believes the vax will protect him & isn’t that bad b/c people don’t go to the #hospital anymore
Bob had #booster #flushot last week. Bob is prob shedding Covid 3/4

Feeling really jazzed about today’s meetings- planned workflow for the coming months with colleagues; joint meeting of Resilient Infrastructure & EnviroJustice subgroups of #GC3; regional planning commission where my colleagues talked about #CIRCA’s work in CT and I got to talk about #zoning as a tool for #climate #resilience. Feels like we are in the right place at the right time for action.
(Furry co-worker not impressed though)
