AGU24 Roundtable: How Science Can Help Shore Up Urban Climate Adaptation Efforts

This media roundtable was recorded at AGU's 2024 Annual Meeting on 11 December 2024. By 2050, 90 percent of Americans are projected to live in cities, which already face severe challenges like heat waves, rising sea levels, and food and water shortages. However, cities are also well-positioned to serve as hubs for developing and implementing strategies to address these environmental vulnerabilities. Scientists at Berkeley Lab, including Andrew Jones, use quantitative models and data analysis to understand the connections between climate and urban systems in order to advance resilience strategies. Their research explores topics ranging from impacts of extreme precipitation on urban flooding, and how reflective roofs, walls, and pavement can protect urbanites from heat waves, reduce air conditioning use, and save water. The researchers also collaborate with social scientists, including fellow Berkeley Lab scientist Kripa Jagannathan, urban infrastructure experts such as Naresh Devineni from the City College of New York, and practitioners from the resource management community, such as Abby Sullivan, the Chief Resilience Officer for the City of Philadelphia. They collaborate to understand how science can more effectively provide actionable insight into strategies for increasing resilience of energy, water, food, and urban systems. In this roundtable session, the panelists will address opportunities for science and collaborative science-stakeholder partnerships to inform solutions targeting urban environmental resilience.
