Sustainable Strategies to Current Conditions and Climate Change at U.S. Military Bases and Other Nations in the Arctic Region: A 20-Year Comparative Review

The Arctic Great Game Won’t Be Won in U.S. Shipyards The answer to this question isn't for us to wait for our extremely limited shipbuilding industry to generate icebreakers. Congress needs to address the Jones Act, stop pandering to special interests, be pragmatic, and start looking at procuring icebreakers and Offshore Arctic Patrol Vessels from allies like Finland, which has a robust Arctic shipbuilding industry. I would counsel not undercutting our national shipbuilding industry, just augmenting. We are not tooled for Great Power Competition, and until we are, we need to outsource. The Cato Institute has written about this and others.

The significance of current maritime technology has never been greater.

“Designing a power system for a ship is a very collaborative and iterative process,” said U.S. Navy, Retired Rear Admiral Bryant Fuller, who now heads up Federal Maritime Programs for Siemens Energy. “There’s a lot of implications for going with one type of technology or one type of fuel compared to another. There’s not a single best answer.” Read more, including how Siemens Energy is working with Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego on the world’s first hydrogen-hybrid research vessel: https://lnkd.in/g9FWi-QQ #marineindustry #marine #shipbuilding #marinepropulsion #hydrogen #hydrogenfuelcells #hybridpower #maritime Siemens

Michigan’s more than 3,000 miles of coastline are subject to environmental changes that come with rapidly changing climate conditions. High and low water levels, wind, ice, and human activity all contribute to the ever-changing character of these coasts. To address these changes and sustainably invest in and steward these vital coastal areas, Michigan and the seven other states bordering the Great Lakes signed an agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Army Corps) for a Great Lakes Coastal Resiliency Study. Using advanced climate and hydrodynamic models, the study will examine a range of future conditions that could affect coastal resilience. #MiEnvironment #GreatLakes #MIHealthyClimate

✈ The International Civil Aviation Organization recently added Gold Standard, Verra, and Climate Action Reserve to their growing list of #CORSIA-eligible #carbon programs. For project developers wondering "what's next?", Oka has published a five-point checklist, drawing on the expertise of our recent webinar panelists Hugh Salway, Anna Hickey, and Simon Henry (🔗 below). This is a milestone for the registries and an important moment for #carbonmarkets – as it is for #carboninsurance. 🔗Five-step plan: https://lnkd.in/e6ZEc5Xb #airlines #article6 #aviation #carboninsurance #climateaction
