Update: Grades, Unit 2, Live session

by Craig Brown.  

Hi all, 

I hope that your weeks are off to a great start. I have a few updates: 

Assignment 1: All submitted assignments have been graded with some feedback from me posted along with the grades. I was really impressed with your thinking and writing and it was really heartening see you wrestle with some of these really important concepts and finding ways forward. 

Unit 2: We are in the midst of Unit 2 and I hope that you are turning your sights to those readings. Please also consider watching my interview with Ewa Jackson in the media gallery as she and I discuss the real world experience of leading many climate risk assessments for communities across Canada. I have attached some slides that Ewa agreed to share as well and think that you will find these quite helpful. We will discuss all of this in detail at our next live session. Assignment 2 is not due until Sunday February 5 at 5pm, so you have some time to engage with these ideas.  

Live session: Our next live session is this coming Saturday (Jan 28) at 9:30am PST. Please feel free to email me if there is anything you would like to talk about ahead of that session. 

Looking forward to keeping the conversation going as we start to dive into the practical dimensions of understanding how a changing climate creates risk, and how we can understand and manage these risks. 

Craig
