Global food systems are facing unprecedented pressures. Patterns of food production, processing, transport and consumption are increasingly fragile and vulnerable, and are exacerbating the prevalence of hunger on a global scale. Developing resilient food systems and safeguarding food security have never been more critical in our warming world. Columbia Climate School’s Jessica Fanzo and Michael Puma will provide key insights into how policy, innovation, and global collaboration can protect and enhance food security. Join us as these experts unpack the complexities of food system resilience and present actionable strategies to help shape a more secure and sustainable future.
The Climate Leader is an online training in systems thinking to help fuel the global response to climate change. These materials will help you to be more effective at addressing climate change by enabling you to see the interconnections and big picture in your work. Behind the Climate Leader are decades of experience from the team at Climate Interactive and powerful ideas developed at MIT.

In this webinar series, practitioners will share information, results and lessons learned through recent work by FHWA/US DOT and State and MPO partners to make the transportation system more resilient to climate change and extreme weather events. The first track focuses on the processes used in the Gulf Coast Study, Phase 2 (Mobile) and transferable methods developed for other agencies to assess the vulnerability of transportation infrastructure. The second track focuses on FHWA's recently completed Climate Resilience Pilot program, which supported 19 pilot projects around the country to assess vulnerabilities and develop strategies to make transportation infrastructure and operations more resilient to climate change and extreme weather events.
