Skeptics: “Impact of Climate Change on Poverty”

Andrew Crane, project manager for the United Nations Development Program (UNDP)/Community Based Adaptation Project, was the featured Society of Skeptics speaker on December 2. His topic for the evening was “The Impact of Climate Change on Poverty in the Developing World.”

Crane managed the Community-Based Adaptation (CBA) project, a $10M project supporting community-level adaptation projects in 10 countries. He coordinated a team of 10 CBA national coordinators in Bangladesh, Bolivia, Guatemala, Jamaica, Kazakhstan, Morocco, Namibia, Niger, Samoa and Viet Nam. Crane provided scientific and technical support on the development of risk assessments, country program strategies, and project concepts and proposals. Initially, he developed the CBA project document, including frameworks for monitoring and evaluating these community projects.
