Politico shared a leaked memo earlier this week to replace USAID with a new 'humanitarian assistance' organization, so I thought it was worth looking through what the plan is www.aspistrategist.org.au/a-new-us-hum...

The LA fires are what happens when compounding climate risks catch us off guard. More than enough analysis from the past week driving that home - yet misinformation still abounds, so I think continued clarity on climate's role is still helpful. www.aspistrategist.org.au/la-fires-cha...

My take away isn't that LA wasn't prepared for fire - but that being prepared to react isn't sufficient. Adapting to climate change means grappling with big costs, difficult decisions, and no absolute certainty - and none of that's feasible if we fail to keep emissions from sending us off a cliff.
