The Living with Water Podcast
Culture journalist, Kara Crabb, explores the issues and innovations in the climate space, based in what is commonly referred to as Southern British Columbia, Canada. How can we prepare for flooding events and rising sea levels? Who benefits from these interventions and strategies? What does it mean to design socially and ecologically inclusive coastal environments? What spatial and temporal scales should be used to address the future of coastal areas?
Join us as we dig into the complexity of challenges and strategies with thinkers and doers in Living with Water’s interdisciplinary climate research community
— like Anwen Rees on nature-based solutions and decolonization, Shaieree Cottar on community-led strategic relocation, Benji Eisenberg on building relationships with the landscape, and more.
Living with Water is funded by the Pacific Institute of Climate Solutions, coordinated by Kees Lokman and Vanessa Lueck. Founded in 2020, with a focus on pluralism, ethics, and values, we have supported over a dozen graduate students in pursuing innovative research and pilot projects.
