The #JBAClimateResiliencePodcast is a new series hosted by Phil Emonson, JBA's Climate Resilience Transformation Lead, that features deep-dive conversations with inspirational thought leaders on the subject of #ClimateResilience. Exploring what resilience to climate change is all about, who has important roles to play, what challenges exist and what’s needed to deliver it.
How do we enhance society’s resilience to climate change?
Phil will be joined by inspiring guests from across the environmental sector and beyond, tackling big topics head-on and getting under the skin of how we raise awareness, adapt, respond and recover more effectively.

The Climate Resilience Podcast
1st Birthday Special: Continuing the conversation on whole society and social value
The Climate Resilience Podcast turns one! To celebrate our birthday, host Phil Emonson is joined by three returning guests: Kat Cornfield (Environment Agency), Lucy Formoy (JBA Consulting), and Karl Astbury (Resilient Cities Network).
Together, they revisit and build on two of our most impactful discussions so far: the role of social value in creating resilient communities (Episode 7) and the importance of a whole-society approach to climate resilience (Episode 9).
In this episode, we explore:
- How to avoid “engagement fatigue” while ensuring communities’ voices are heard
- Why local stories matter - lessons from cross-sector and international collaborations on resilience
- The challenges of navigating political cycles when building climate-ready places
- A case study from JBA’s CoastWise project and what it teaches us about adaptation
Join us as we reflect on what we’ve learned over the past year and look ahead to how whole-society collaboration can drive meaningful, lasting climate resilience.
Thank you for listening to this episode.
