Joel Nodelman
Principal
I am an engineer and risk specialist with over forty years of professional practice. My main goal is climate resilience. I help my clients work toward resilience in the design, operation, and management of infrastructure and governance systems. I will help you find practical ways to address your climate risk.
Mission
Sharing my skills and experience to make the world more resilient.
Resilience
Climate resilience depends on wholistic approaches to risk management. I strive to achieve a balance between:
-
Resilient to climate events
-
Integration of adaptation into existing finance and governance systems
-
Sensitivity to the environment, and social systems
-
Finding ways to build adaptation into strategic opportunities
I believe resilience is not simply a cost to bear. It is also an opportunity to make us all safer, more environmentally aware, and competitive.
Training
