Podcast looks at climate change’s effect on the poor
For the final episode of “Unfold,” Season 2, podcast host Amy Quinton travels to Kenya to learn more about how climate change and poverty intersect. UC Davis agricultural economists are researching the pairing of two intervention programs, including a type of climate insurance policy, to keep these vulnerable populations from falling so deep into poverty that they have no way to recover.
Guests are Michael Carter, professor of agricultural and resource economics, and director of the Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Markets, Risk and Resilience at UC Davis, with research in Kenya funded by USAID; Tom Lenaruti, project coordinator, BOMA Project; and Nathan Jensen, an economist at the International Livestock Research Institute.
In season 2, “Unfold” explores the solutions to and complexities of climate change. It is available free, on demand at Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Amazon’s Tunein, Stitcher, Pandora and Spotify.

"Donofrio says Lime will have workers in Davis and says they will be “moving those bikes within 90 minutes, but also being proactive."
The city’s pilot project could include 500 e-bikes and 300-e-scooters — the prospect of which did not necessarily sit well with all council members."

Davis votes to bring back electric bikes and scooters after banning during pandemic
www.capradio.org
UC Davis still needs to approve them on-campus after City Council voted to pave the way for a pilot program that would bring rental e-bikes and e-scooters back this fall.It would be fine if people used them responsibly. But Jump bikes were left around randomly and I dread the scooters being used by adolescents.
