Predicted exposure of communities in southeastern United States to climate-related coastal hazards
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 29 November 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02181-1
A rigorous analysis of twenty-first-century multi-hazard exposure for US Southeast Atlantic coastal communities indicates that up to 70% of residents will be exposed daily to shallow and emerging groundwater by approximately 2100. This threat further exacerbates the impacts of other coastal stressors, such as flooding, beach erosion and subsidence, under expected future climate change scenarios.

Release: Stabenow Introduces Rural Prosperity and Food Security Act
Comprehensive Farm Bill Draft Would Strengthen Support for Farmers and Rural Communities
Washington, DC, November 19, 2024 – Yesterday, U.S. Senate Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) introduced the Rural Prosperity and Food Security Act which builds upon the framework released earlier this year and makes strategic investments to move agriculture forward.
…“The Rural Prosperity and Food Security Act highlights the longstanding path – and shrinking window – to completing a bipartisan farm bill this year. The bill would build a more fair and accessible farm safety net for farmers and ranchers, make robust investments in local and regional food systems, and protect generational conservation and climate resources as farmers nationwide battle extreme weather,” said Mike Lavender,
Pathways for urgent action towards climate resilient development
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 22 November 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02190-0
There is a closing window of opportunity to ensure a sustainable future for all, with deep and rapid action needed this decade. Inclusive and just climate resilient development advances sustainable development and keeps open pathways to a liveable planet but requires urgent and fundamental shifts in prevailing development politics and practice.

Release: NSAC Commends White House Request for Disaster Assistance for ALL Farmers
Congress must follow and authorize revenue-based disaster assistance to support farmers and ranchers reeling from Hurricanes Helene and Milton
Washington, DC, November 20, 2024 – The National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC) released the following comment after today’s Senate Committee on Appropriations Hearing, “A Review of Disaster Funding Needs,” assessing Monday’s request by the White House for supplemental disaster assistance. The comment is attributable to Billy Hackett, NSAC Policy Specialist.
…“Too many family farmers remain in limbo more than one month after Hurricanes Helene and Milton barreled through the southeast United States. NSAC is heartened by the White House’s request to Congress for supplemental disaster assistance, which includes an explicit appeal for relief that reaches
How a dwindling helium supply is impacting public land management
In October, the Bureau of Land Management finalized a new resource management plan for Colorado’s Western Slope that will determine how 2 million acres of public land are managed for the next 15-20 years.
The plan includes some conservation wins; it sets aside land designated as critical habitat, for example, and institutes extra protections for big game. But it also permits continued leasing in areas that have moderate and high potential for oil and gas development — with a particular focus on places with the unique geological conditions necessary for helium production.
Helium is a noble gas, meaning it is chemically inert and doesn’t react with other substances. These qualities mean that it’s in high demand for a variety of critical uses in medical technology, diving and national defense; diagnostic procedures like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), for example, and nuclear …
Projections of multiple climate-related coastal hazards for the US Southeast Atlantic
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 21 November 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02180-2
Multiple climate-related coastal hazards could impact people, infrastructure and ecosystems, yet previous works often focused on flooding only. By analysing the future exposure to four types of hazard along the US Southeast Atlantic coast, this research emphasizes the risks beyond flooding.
