The INTS program is proud to announce that Claire Ransom (BA '17) has published "Climate Change Can Shrink a Nation's GDP: Here's Why That Matters" as part of the World Economic Forum's COP26 events. Claire is now Assistant Project Officer, World Meteorological Organization (WMO). Claire's article notes:
- Climate change is already being felt around the world.
- Climate indicators demonstrate the complexity of climate change, adding nuance to how and where it is happening, to shape a better understanding of impacts and write more effective policy.
- Progress for the climate is possible by better engagement with climate data.
- Cross-sectoral collaboration and multi-agency input, as well as digital tools such as ArcGIS StoryMaps, make climate information more relevant and accessible.
