Bravo David & Matthew. The big reason housing is critical for building a better human relationship with climate is that smart policy works on both sides of the issue - cutting exposure and vulnerability (see @stephenmstrader.bsky.social #expandingbullseye research) and cutting heating emissions.
Today on Volts: you may have noticed that some climate/energy types (like me) have become obsessed with housing & urban land use lately. Why? Why are they climate issues? What's the connection? The great @mateosfo.bsky.social and I attempt to answer those questions.

2/2 The top driver of climate-disaster losses is local #expandingbullseye zones of exposure and (especially) societal vulnerability. @dianaliv.bsky.social's statement here absolutely nails this. Heaps more if you sift for "climate risk" on my Sustain What dispatch at revkin.substack.com
