The Great Adaptations Podcast from the The Glacier Trust is hosted by Dr. Morgan Phillips and features interviews with key thinkers on the topic of climate change adaptation. The podcast accompanies The Glacier Trust's first ever book "Great Adaptations - In the shadow of a climate crisis" by Morgan Phillips, published by Arkbound. For more information on the Great Adaptations project please visit The Glacier Trust website.
The aim of the book, the podcast, and the wider Great Adaptations project is simple: we want to get more people talking and thinking about adaptation. Adaptation is already happening and we can only expect to see more of it and more of its evil twin maladaptation. We want to shine a light on the great (and not so great) adaptations so that when people start designing and implementing their adaptation strategies, they adapt in ways that are socially just, compatible with mitigation efforts, and part of a wider transformative process. The adaptations to climate change that are already happening need to be scrutinised and celebrated in equal measure, Great Adaptations does that, but conversations about adaptation can’t exist in a vacuum, context is everything.
