Over breakfast, I began to read 'Sink or Swim' - the excellent new book by @susannahfisher.bsky.social. I only read the prologue but I'm so excited. It's unpicking lots of the challenging questions that are at the heart of transformational adaptation, and the tradeoffs with incremental approaches.

Paul outlining some of the work costing the UK's adaptation plan, as well as some of the learning. Existing costs are around 1% of public budgets. They show how we will have high costs to deal with existing stock, and that we will have to innovate to get better cost data.

I need to get back to posting on here - I miss Bluesky! So here's a lovely piece from UNEP on picture based insurance to help reduce costs and increase coverage, which Sumalee Khosla at @unep.org has been helping on. unepccc.org/innovative-p...

Just so awful. We need to be much clearer about what it actually means, with examples. See for example: climatereadyclyde.org.uk/wp-content/u...

Nothing like refreshing your Household Emergency Plan on a Saturday morning. If you don't have one, it's well worth it - template available here: prepare.campaign.gov.uk/wp-content/u...

Couldn't sleep properly, so went for a 5am moonlit walk with the dog. It was fabulous! So dark and crisp. When we got back, she went back to bed. Me on the other hand ended up having to crack on with the day. #zzzzzz
