Kate Guy is a researcher who advocates for the integration of resilience into societal and energy systems to mitigate future climate shocks, as detailed in [1], [2], and [3]. She specifically argues for increased investment in resilience strategies at various government levels [4], [5] and emphasizes its necessity for energy infrastructure [6], [7], [8] and data-driven climate adaptation [9].

claimKate Guy asserts that budget cuts to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the National Weather Service, and NASA threaten the continuity of data sets required for accurate weather prediction, which is essential for climate adaptation and resilience.
perspectiveKate Guy argues that societies and local areas will fare better if they build resilience into their systems now, specifically preparing for climate shocks expected 10, 15, or 20 years in the future rather than relying on historical resilience standards.
claimKate Guy advocates for establishing an environment that rewards energy suppliers for building resilience into their systems, supported by the public sector providing necessary data and federal risk assessments.
claimKate Guy suggests that energy suppliers should be incentivized to build resilience into their systems, and that energy consumers, particularly businesses, must take action on the demand side to adapt to changing climate conditions.
claimKate Guy observes that while the current United States administration prioritizes energy supply and dominance, the resilience of existing energy supply is often not prioritized, despite being critical during crisis moments.
perspectiveKate Guy argues that in the context of climate change impacts, there are no winners, only losers and worse losers, and that the societies that fare better are those actively building resilience into their systems.
perspectiveKate Guy argues that the United States has historically prioritized emissions reduction over adaptation and resilience, and that the country now requires significant investment in tools and strategies to build resilience against climate shocks.
perspectiveKate Guy argues that societies and local areas will fare better if they build resilience into their systems to withstand future climate shocks expected 10 to 20 years from now, rather than relying on outdated definitions of resilience.
perspectiveKate Guy argues that the United States has historically prioritized emissions reduction over adaptation and resilience, and that the country must urgently invest in tools and strategies to build resilience against climate shocks at the local, state, and county levels.
