These strategies amount to an initial approach\u2014Playbook 1.0\u2014for deciding who will pay what and how city governments will generate the needed revenue. Our analysis is based on a close look at how eight US cities in seven states have been organizing the funding needed to implement their ambitious climate-resilience plans. They are among a small number of cities that have gotten this far.<\/p>\n<p>Each of these cities has had to find its own way to public and private financial resources, because there is no system in place for solving the problem of how to pay for climate resilience\u2014no cost-sharing arrangements, for instance, for resilience infrastructure across local, state, and federal levels of government. The cities are involuntary pioneers faced with growing climate hazards and exposure that require more money for resilience.<\/p>\n<p>Examining these cities\u2019 pathways revealed common strategies that, while only reflecting the leading-edge of urban climate-resilience financing practices, quite likely foreshadow what other cities already or may do. These strategies form the content of Playbook 1.0. But the pathways also suggest the limits of what cities are able to do, with important implications for the continuing evolution of the urban playbook for climate-resilience finance.<\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span><\/div><span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-sm-3\"><a href=\"https:\/\/in4c.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Climate-Resilience-and-Low-Income-Neighborhoods-Final-1.pdf\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/in4c.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image.png\" title=\"image\" class=\"attachment-full aligncenter\" style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; margin-bottom: 5px\" \/><\/a>\n<h6>How Can Cities Use Investments in Climate Resilience to Generate Economic Benefits for Low-Income Neighborhoods?<\/h6>\n<div class=\"report-actions\" style=\"text-align: center\"><button class=\"btn btn-default btn-xs synopsis\">Synopsis<\/button> <a href=\"https:\/\/in4c.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Climate-Resilience-and-Low-Income-Neighborhoods-Final-1.pdf\"><button class=\"btn btn-primary btn-xs\">View\/Download<\/button><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"report-synopsis\"><p>Our research team looked for ways that public investments in climate resilience could also respond to the economic needs of low-income neighborhoods by increasing the disposable income of households in the neighborhood and boosting residents\u2019 collective influence over city systems that affect their economic capabilities and opportunities.

A new American culture came into being. &#8220;We became a people of prehistoric carbon between 1885, when the United States experienced its first energy crisis, a &#8216;crisis of abundance,&#8217; . . . and 1970, when we experienced a second, more depressing crisis of malaise,&#8221; Johnson explains. &#8220;In these years . . . prehistoric carbons grafted themselves onto and embedded themselves deep with the American self.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Johnson mines historic materials to make his case&#8211;much as we found, in researching our forthcoming book, <em>Life After Carbon<\/em>, that examining the interconnected rise of the fossil-fuel economy and the modern city was driven by new ideas that became deeply embedded in urban development and global urbanization.\u00a0And, as he points out toward the end of\u00a0<em>Carbon Nation,\u00a0<\/em>what became embedded in the \u00a0modern self&#8211;the ideas, feelings, symbols, art, and so on&#8211;can be hard to change.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The urge to look sideways at our energy dependencies goes well beyond unhampered propaganda and lax political contribution laws. It also derives from the fact that most Americans&#8211;on the political right and left and in the center&#8211;have very strong short-term incentives to want to believe that the status quo can be maintained.&#8221; Certainly the same is true about the underlying model&#8211;the assumptions&#8211;for modern urban development. Johnson continues: &#8220;To imagine life without prehistoric carbons . . . means engaging ourselves in the very messy and uncomfortable work of finding out who we are and what we might be without combusting fuels.&#8221; This is precisely what cities that have been most aggressive about decarbonizing themselves are discovering: the work is not just about technical solutions that reduce GHG emissions; it&#8217;s about reimagining the city&#8217;s identity and future.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson makes another point about carbon culture in the U.S. that seems fresh. The rise of the fossil-fuel economy in the early 18th century occurred before Americans had experienced the limits of exploiting natural ecosystems&#8211;and the pain of economic contraction&#8211;that Europeans had already been through. In the US there was still much more land, trees, minerals and the like to consume. Americans evaded &#8220;the logic of organic constraints felt so viscerally in more land-strapped early modern regions such as England, France, Germany, Japan, and China.&#8221; As a result, Johnson concludes, &#8220;Americans became subsequently vaccinated against talk of ecological constraints.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Climate change presents a great challenge to this nation&#8217;s deeply held cultural aversion to ecological limits. No wonder Johnson says that &#8220;disentangling ourselves from prehistoric carbon implies, in other words, that we are willing to cleave off a part of ourselves.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span><span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>\n      <\/div>\n\t\n      <div class=\"book-review\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Upcycle-Beyond-Sustainability-Designing-Abundance-ebook\/dp\/B009LRWHNQ\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1507121747&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=the+upcycle\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-130x size-130x alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/in4c.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Upcycle-wpv_130x.jpeg\" width=\"130\" height=\"\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Upcycle-Beyond-Sustainability-Designing-Abundance-ebook\/dp\/B009LRWHNQ\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1507121747&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=the+upcycle\" target=\"_blank\">The Upcycle: Beyond Sustainability&#8211;Designing for Abundance<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>\n  <strong>Author:<\/strong> William McDonough and Michael Braungart<br \/>\n  <strong>Published:<\/strong> 2013 &ndash; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Upcycle-Beyond-Sustainability-Designing-Abundance-ebook\/dp\/B009LRWHNQ\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1507121747&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=the+upcycle\" target=\"_blank\">Buy the book &raquo;<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If human beings were to devise products, tools, furniture, homes, factories, and cities more intelligently from the start, they wouldn&#8217;t even need to think in terms of waste, or contamination, or scarcity. Good design would allow for abundance, endless reuse, and pleasure.&#8221; This is the basic idea that architect William McDonough and chemist Michael Braungart offer in\u00a0<em>The Upcycle<\/em>. Endless reuse is their language for what&#8217;s now being called the &#8220;circular economy&#8221;&#8211;a concept applied design of products, workplaces, industries, and cities.

The book\u2019s subtitle, <em>How We Became a World of Consumers, from the Fifteenth Century to the Twenty-First<\/em>, describes Trentmann\u2019s ambition, which has global scope. He uncovers the historical roots of our modern consumer society, starting in the 1600s, partly by mining an enormous amount of data from an amazing array of sources, and partly by recognizing what came <em>before <\/em>it. A big shift occurred when wealthy Europeans in cities turned away from an idea that had guided previous generations, Aristotle\u2019s praise for the use of private wealth as, Trentmann says, \u201ca sign of civic virtue and pride in a community governed and defended by like-minded brave, propertied citizens. . . . The admired life was that if the active citizen who increased the splendor and strength of his city by erecting monumental buildings, commanding an army and sponsoring communal feasts and public works. Large-scale consumption was safe\u2014and could be enjoyed\u2014when it occurred in the pursuit of such public ends.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Citizen-consumers. Consumers as virtuous citizens\u2014taking responsibility for the social and ecological consequences of their consumption. A fantasy, perhaps, but as Trentmann&#8217;s project shows, what we feel and think about consumption, and the ways we consume, have not been fixed.

The network is led by the Koch family, whose patriarch was a founder of the John Birch Society. But it also includes multiple other billionaires, including Mellon heirs, the Coors and DeVos families and Wall Street players like Steven Cohen, Paul Singer and Stephen Schwarzman. They have invested billions of dollars in a byzantine network of non-profit institutes and lobbying organizations (including such well-known players as the Heritage Foundation, ALEC, Americans for Prosperity) designed to advance\u00a0\u201cfree market\u201d philosophies\u2014including a robust denial of climate change, its origins, and effects.

These strategies amount to an initial approach\u2014Playbook 1.0\u2014for deciding who will pay what and how city governments will generate the needed revenue. Our analysis is based on a close look at how eight US cities in seven states have been organizing the funding needed to implement their ambitious climate-resilience plans. They are among a small number of cities that have gotten this far.<\/p>\n<p>Each of these cities has had to find its own way to public and private financial resources, because there is no system in place for solving the problem of how to pay for climate resilience\u2014no cost-sharing arrangements, for instance, for resilience infrastructure across local, state, and federal levels of government. The cities are involuntary pioneers faced with growing climate hazards and exposure that require more money for resilience.<\/p>\n<p>Examining these cities\u2019 pathways revealed common strategies that, while only reflecting the leading-edge of urban climate-resilience financing practices, quite likely foreshadow what other cities already or may do. These strategies form the content of Playbook 1.0. But the pathways also suggest the limits of what cities are able to do, with important implications for the continuing evolution of the urban playbook for climate-resilience finance.<\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span><\/div><span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-sm-3\"><a href=\"https:\/\/in4c.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Climate-Resilience-and-Low-Income-Neighborhoods-Final-1.pdf\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/in4c.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image.png\" title=\"image\" class=\"attachment-full aligncenter\" style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; margin-bottom: 5px\" \/><\/a>\n<h6>How Can Cities Use Investments in Climate Resilience to Generate Economic Benefits for Low-Income Neighborhoods?<\/h6>\n<div class=\"report-actions\" style=\"text-align: center\"><button class=\"btn btn-default btn-xs synopsis\">Synopsis<\/button> <a href=\"https:\/\/in4c.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Climate-Resilience-and-Low-Income-Neighborhoods-Final-1.pdf\"><button class=\"btn btn-primary btn-xs\">View\/Download<\/button><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"report-synopsis\"><p>Our research team looked for ways that public investments in climate resilience could also respond to the economic needs of low-income neighborhoods by increasing the disposable income of households in the neighborhood and boosting residents\u2019 collective influence over city systems that affect their economic capabilities and opportunities.

A new American culture came into being. &#8220;We became a people of prehistoric carbon between 1885, when the United States experienced its first energy crisis, a &#8216;crisis of abundance,&#8217; . . . and 1970, when we experienced a second, more depressing crisis of malaise,&#8221; Johnson explains. &#8220;In these years . . . prehistoric carbons grafted themselves onto and embedded themselves deep with the American self.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Johnson mines historic materials to make his case&#8211;much as we found, in researching our forthcoming book, <em>Life After Carbon<\/em>, that examining the interconnected rise of the fossil-fuel economy and the modern city was driven by new ideas that became deeply embedded in urban development and global urbanization.\u00a0And, as he points out toward the end of\u00a0<em>Carbon Nation,\u00a0<\/em>what became embedded in the \u00a0modern self&#8211;the ideas, feelings, symbols, art, and so on&#8211;can be hard to change.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The urge to look sideways at our energy dependencies goes well beyond unhampered propaganda and lax political contribution laws. It also derives from the fact that most Americans&#8211;on the political right and left and in the center&#8211;have very strong short-term incentives to want to believe that the status quo can be maintained.&#8221; Certainly the same is true about the underlying model&#8211;the assumptions&#8211;for modern urban development. Johnson continues: &#8220;To imagine life without prehistoric carbons . . . means engaging ourselves in the very messy and uncomfortable work of finding out who we are and what we might be without combusting fuels.&#8221; This is precisely what cities that have been most aggressive about decarbonizing themselves are discovering: the work is not just about technical solutions that reduce GHG emissions; it&#8217;s about reimagining the city&#8217;s identity and future.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson makes another point about carbon culture in the U.S. that seems fresh. The rise of the fossil-fuel economy in the early 18th century occurred before Americans had experienced the limits of exploiting natural ecosystems&#8211;and the pain of economic contraction&#8211;that Europeans had already been through. In the US there was still much more land, trees, minerals and the like to consume. Americans evaded &#8220;the logic of organic constraints felt so viscerally in more land-strapped early modern regions such as England, France, Germany, Japan, and China.&#8221; As a result, Johnson concludes, &#8220;Americans became subsequently vaccinated against talk of ecological constraints.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Climate change presents a great challenge to this nation&#8217;s deeply held cultural aversion to ecological limits. No wonder Johnson says that &#8220;disentangling ourselves from prehistoric carbon implies, in other words, that we are willing to cleave off a part of ourselves.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span><span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>\n      <\/div>\n\t\n      <div class=\"book-review\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Upcycle-Beyond-Sustainability-Designing-Abundance-ebook\/dp\/B009LRWHNQ\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1507121747&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=the+upcycle\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-130x size-130x alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/in4c.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Upcycle-wpv_130x.jpeg\" width=\"130\" height=\"\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Upcycle-Beyond-Sustainability-Designing-Abundance-ebook\/dp\/B009LRWHNQ\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1507121747&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=the+upcycle\" target=\"_blank\">The Upcycle: Beyond Sustainability&#8211;Designing for Abundance<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>\n  <strong>Author:<\/strong> William McDonough and Michael Braungart<br \/>\n  <strong>Published:<\/strong> 2013 &ndash; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Upcycle-Beyond-Sustainability-Designing-Abundance-ebook\/dp\/B009LRWHNQ\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1507121747&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=the+upcycle\" target=\"_blank\">Buy the book &raquo;<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If human beings were to devise products, tools, furniture, homes, factories, and cities more intelligently from the start, they wouldn&#8217;t even need to think in terms of waste, or contamination, or scarcity. Good design would allow for abundance, endless reuse, and pleasure.&#8221; This is the basic idea that architect William McDonough and chemist Michael Braungart offer in\u00a0<em>The Upcycle<\/em>. Endless reuse is their language for what&#8217;s now being called the &#8220;circular economy&#8221;&#8211;a concept applied design of products, workplaces, industries, and cities. In short, food=waste=food.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Upcycle\u00a0<\/em>lays out an elegant conceptual framework for achieving this inspiring vision.

The book\u2019s subtitle, <em>How We Became a World of Consumers, from the Fifteenth Century to the Twenty-First<\/em>, describes Trentmann\u2019s ambition, which has global scope. He uncovers the historical roots of our modern consumer society, starting in the 1600s, partly by mining an enormous amount of data from an amazing array of sources, and partly by recognizing what came <em>before <\/em>it. A big shift occurred when wealthy Europeans in cities turned away from an idea that had guided previous generations, Aristotle\u2019s praise for the use of private wealth as, Trentmann says, \u201ca sign of civic virtue and pride in a community governed and defended by like-minded brave, propertied citizens. . . . The admired life was that if the active citizen who increased the splendor and strength of his city by erecting monumental buildings, commanding an army and sponsoring communal feasts and public works. Large-scale consumption was safe\u2014and could be enjoyed\u2014when it occurred in the pursuit of such public ends.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Citizen-consumers. Consumers as virtuous citizens\u2014taking responsibility for the social and ecological consequences of their consumption. A fantasy, perhaps, but as Trentmann&#8217;s project shows, what we feel and think about consumption, and the ways we consume, have not been fixed. They evolved and will continue to evolve.<\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span><span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>\n      <\/div>\n\t\n      <div class=\"book-review\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Dark-Money-History-Billionaires-Radical-ebook\/dp\/B0180SU4OA\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1495228592&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=dark+money\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-130x size-130x alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/in4c.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Dark-Money-wpv_130x.png\" width=\"130\" height=\"\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Dark-Money-History-Billionaires-Radical-ebook\/dp\/B0180SU4OA\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1495228592&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=dark+money\" target=\"_blank\">Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>\n  <strong>Author:<\/strong> Jane Mayer<br \/>\n  <strong>Published:<\/strong> 2016 &ndash; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Dark-Money-History-Billionaires-Radical-ebook\/dp\/B0180SU4OA\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1495228592&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=dark+money\" target=\"_blank\">Buy the book &raquo;<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p>Mayer\u2019s book describes the sophisticated three-decade strategy of a network of the world\u2019s richest people (many, but not all, of whom made their wealth in the fossil fuel industry) to engineer the political and regulatory system in a way that advances their corporate interests, and their extreme right-wing ideologies. The network is led by the Koch family, whose patriarch was a founder of the John Birch Society. But it also includes multiple other billionaires, including Mellon heirs, the Coors and DeVos families and Wall Street players like Steven Cohen, Paul Singer and Stephen Schwarzman. They have invested billions of dollars in a byzantine network of non-profit institutes and lobbying organizations (including such well-known players as the Heritage Foundation, ALEC, Americans for Prosperity) designed to advance\u00a0\u201cfree market\u201d philosophies\u2014including a robust denial of climate change, its origins, and effects. Dark money set up the ascendency of Donald Trump, who has fully embraced the network and brought many of its players into its administration.
