#Virginia - #ClimateChange and Its Effect on #Gardening – 2025
By Elaine Mills, Extension Master Gardener, January 22, 2025
Climate-Conscious Gardening
"To quote David W. Wolfe, Professor of Plant & Soil Ecology at #CornellUniversity,
'We are in the unfortunate situation of being the first generation of gardeners, ever, who cannot rely on historical weather records to tell us what our climate is, or what to expect in the future.'"Join Master Gardeners in the Arlington/Alexandria unit of Virginia #CooperativeExtension in a series of monthly articles updated from their original posting in 2021 as we explore the topic of climate change and practical actions individuals can take in their home landscapes in response. This month, we’ll present an overview."

#HarvestingRainwater with Brad Lancaster: How to Create Livable Desert Cities
by Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't
Jun 9, 2026Part 1 of a 3 Video Series
"In this episode we see the incredible work that Brad Lancaster and his community are doing to make the #DunbarSpring Neighborhood in #TucsonAZ a cooler, more pleasant and human-friendly place to live by using plants as infrastructure and creating a #FoodForest using #NativePlants that are adapted to deal with the desert heat perfectly because they evolved there.
"This video shows us how what Brad and his community have done serve as a model as to what could be down to make cities all over the globe more livable, illustrating how human development and nature do not have to be mutually exclusive. Filming this video and seeing that Brad and his people have done made me feel in something I haven't felt in a long time : hope."

Strengthening residual #climate risk management in #German #DevelopmentCooperation
#DEval Policy Brief by Leppert et al. (2022)• #Residual #ClimateRisks pose an increasing challenge and should be considered more systematically in #ClimateFinance.
• Increased use of #RiskPreparedness needed to maximise #ClimateChangeAdaptation and reduce #losses #damages.
• #Transformative #RiskManagement needs integrated approaches. -
Livelihoods in #DevelopingCountries Threatened Despite #ClimateChangeAdaptation. In the new #DEval report, Leppert et al. assessed the relevance, effectiveness and #impacts of instruments for managing #Residual #ClimateRisks, such as #RiskPooling (#ClimateRiskInsurance), Third-party #RiskFinance, #RiskPreparedness and #Transformative #RiskManagement by #German #DevelopmentCooperation.
