Through Executive Order JBE 2020-18, Governor 98 John Bel Edwards has called leaders from across government, industry, and civil society to come 99 together to identify actions Louisiana can take to do its part in this worldwide problem. By articulating 100 the problem being addressed and explaining the science-based decision-making framework guiding 101 the Task Force and its supporting committees and advisory groups, this draft partial report will show 102 the public how the State is going to go about crafting policies on one of the most important issues of 103 the day. 104 105 From early November when the Climate Initiatives Task Force was first called to order until today, the 106 Task Force, its committees and advisory groups, and planning team have been working to establish a 107 common understanding of the problem context—the ways in which climate change is today and will in 108 the future affect Louisiana’s residents, economy, and natural environment. These groups have also 109 discussed their charges—how their expertise and perspectives can produce effective, implementable 110 climate policies for the state. And most importantly, the 120 plus leaders, bringing a wide range of 111 perspectives and giving their time to this effort, have discussed and helped establish “fundamental 112 objectives,” guideposts developed to help the state maximize the positive outcomes of addressing 113 climate change while minimizing potential negative outcomes in an open and transparent manner. As 114 such, this draft partial report does not contain first drafts of proposed climate actions for the state of 115 Louisiana, but it does offer insights into the state’s impetus for action and the many deeply held values 116 brought to this process by stakeholders from across the state. 117 118 In 2021, these groups will begin the process of developing climate actions for inclusion in the final 119 Climate Report.

  • Katrina: a Man- Made Disaster by Michael Grunwald
    Back to Article Click to Print Wednesday, Nov. 24, 2010 Katrina: A Man- Made Disaster By Michael Grunwald It's been five years since the levees broke and New Orleans drowned, since an unremarkable storm left behind unspeakable horrors. Five years since those indelible images of corpses floating in ditches and families screaming on rooftops, since that nauseating frenzy of buck-passing and blame-shifting. It was a heckuva job all around. It took a while, but the prevailing narrative is finally starting to reflect that Katrina was a man-made disaster, not a natural disaster, triggered by shoddy engineering, not an overwhelming hurricane. Even the stubborn generals of the Army Corps of Engineers eventually admitted the "catastrophic failure" of the city's defenses. Now the U.S. is spending $15 billion to build sturdier flood walls and stronger pumps in smarter locations; the Army Corps even shut down the misbegotten Mississippi River Gulf Outlet, a little- used navigation canal that intensified Katrina's surge and ushered it into New Orleans. (Watch TIME's video "Reckoning With a Manmade Disaster.") The good news is that the city is somewhat less vulnerable than it was five years ago. It still isn't ready for the Big One, but it should be able to handle a glorified near miss like Katrina. The bad news is that America still hasn't learned the deeper lessons of the 2005 hurricane. Bad weather and worse engineering were just the immediate causes of the tragedy, like the assassination of the archduke that launched World War I, but not the underlying causes.
