👋Hi there, Climate Proof subscribers!
Who’s hungry for adaptation interviews?
We’ve got enough this week to meet the biggest appetite. Each and every day, we’ll be dropping a new pod with one of the many adaptation pros who joined us in-studio during New York Climate Week. They’ll share their reflections of the seven-day jamboree, and give us the lowdown on how they’re climate-proofing their own little corner of the world.
Listen to each episode using the links below, or check out the video pods over on our YouTube page.
Big thanks to Laughing Man Studios for hosting us, and to all our interviewees for taking part.

In this episode, Louie sits down with Ben DeAngelo, Principal and Founder of Operation Future and former Director of the Office of Climate Adaptation and Sustainability at the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Fresh from launching his new consultancy, Ben reflects on his decades-long federal career, as well as key milestones in the climate fight — from helping craft the landmark 2009 Endangerment Finding to coordinating the EPA’s first adaptation strategy.
He shares his fresh perspective from outside government, including why municipal bonds might be a sleeping giant for local adaptation finance, how non-federal actors are keeping the climate agenda alive despite political headwinds, and why private actors may have more latitude to innovate on climate then their peers in the public sector.
Plus, he unpacks what’s next for Operation Future — and how he plans to stay in the fight.
