Michael Berkowitz On Capturing the Resilience Dividend

Michael Berkowitz is spreading the gospel of climate resilience across academic disciplines, communities, and industries. As Executive Director of the Climate Resilience Academy at the University of Miami, he's responsible for driving problem-driven research and education on climate adaptation and resilience and training the next generation of climate proofers. In this episode, he talks about the idea of "resilience dividends" — the spillover benefits that come from investing in resilience — and the ways in which they can be captured and monetized by private and public actors. He also explores why Miami has emerged as a hub for climate resilience companies and takes us through some of the adaptation innovations being pioneered in southern Florida.
