Since the end of last year I’ve had the opportunity to serve as a judge for Stanford’s Climate Adaptation Accelerator, which is hosted at the new Doerr’s School of Sustainability.
Thank you for revealing the practical side of Climate Adaptation. Academia will not be able to resolve any issues until they have been in the field for extended periods, experiencing the living conditions of all affected by climate change.
Thats the sad reality of western academia - we have mired ourselves in the metrics of science, publication, peer review and funding. To the point that innovation and trying things out in the field become rare. Fortunately, Africa's environmental science hasn't fully capitulated

it was gratifying that a lot of the approved proposals have folks extensively working in the field.
