FREE to ALL! WEBINAR: John Matthews! 'Calibrating Water Solutions to Climate Challenges: A Water Resilience Revolution' 18 January 1 - 2 PM ET. Registration required (free!) tinyurl.com/yhwwspje
John Matthews, Executive Director
Alliance for Global Water Adaptation (AGWA)Following a USGS postdoc, John started and led WWF’s freshwater climate adaptation program in 2007 before co-founding the Alliance for Global Water Adaptation (AGWA) in 2010, where he remains the Executive Director. He has led the development of a variety of new climate risk methodologies that have been used in dozens of countries, prepared green bond criteria that have certified more than 15 billion USD in water resilience investments across six continents, and advised well over 100 countries on their national climate commitments. Current work includes developing a new generation of resilience indicators, leading the development and implementation of a national climate planning tool, working with businesses to incorporate resilience within operations, heading a program to engage macroeconomic planners and central bankers to blend resilience with traditional economic evaluation approaches, and contributing to large-scale technical climate risk assessments.
If the time is inconvenient, register so you can get a video of his presentation and PDF of his slides about 10 days after the presentation. But you must register!
Enjoy

Today's Tunes
Today's Tune - 6 January 2023. 'Garden Party' by Ricky (or 'Rick') Nelson & Stone Canyon Band. Nelson claims boos were directed at him & band because of songs they sung @ MSG - not all from 'the old days'. More info: tinyurl.com/5n88nz2e. youtu.be/60XTeHM9iLQ #aquadocaudio
Today's Tune - 5 January 2023. Motown boss Berry Gordy sat on Marvin Gaye's version of 'I Heard It Through The Grapevine' and released the Gladys Knight and the Pips version before his. Both were hits but Gaye's more so. So much for Gordy! youtu.be/VWG3npfEoHo #aquadocaudio
Today's Tune - 4 January 2023. Johnnie Ray? Born in Dallas, OR (1927) he became quite a star in the 1950s. The opening verse of 'Come On Eileen' pays tribute. Our mothers loved him. Forerunner of Rock 'n' Roll. An icon in UK & Australia. youtu.be/kCjTWYoRTzM #aquadocaudio
Today's Tune - 3 January 2023. Kenny Rogers had quite a career in music - jazz, folk, pop, rock, psychedelic (remember 'Just Dropped In'?) - but he really hit it big in country. Of that genre, my favorite is 'Reuben James'. Here goes...youtu.be/40vhffon5bk #aquadocaudio
Today's Tune - 2 January 2023. A great tune for the day after New Year's day: Procol Harum and the mystical 'A Whiter Shade of Pale', which has sold > 10M copies and inspired ~1000 versions. The song's topic? Sex or somesuch. youtu.be/CJxpKlTID2Q #aquadocaudio
Today's Tune - 1 January 2023. Watching @FareedZakaria's 'Extraordinary' @CNN series on Billy Joel I thought 'Only The Good Die Young' would do! . Just another smart-ass kid from Long Island... youtu.be/ERWREcPIoPA #aquadocaudio
Today's Tune - 31 December 2022. It's that time of the year! Here is Boney M. with 'Auld Lang Syne'. Best in 2023 for all of you! Work for peace! youtu.be/LVz7hZgVzv8 #aquadocaudio
