Marketplace Tech with Molly Wood   /     In a changing climate, how can tech help us survive?

Summary

Our new series "How We Survive" looks at how technology can help us adapt to climate change. In this opening conversation, we look at the need to adopt an adaptation mindset. Given the faster and more serious timeline laid out by the UN around major impacts of climate change, researcher Williams Collins is one of many climate scientists calling for more focus on adaptation โ€” preparing communities to withstand the threats they face. And we lay out why finance and technology development are important in the shift toward climate adaptation as well โ€” driven by an ever-growing body of data.

Today's show is sponsored by Lenovo for Small Business, Indeed and Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage.
