This week, we're featuring an episode of the podcast Important Not Important - it's a fantastic conversation with Dr. Heidi Roop discussing her new book, The Climate Action Handbook.

Dr. Roop is the Director of the University of Minnesota Climate Adaptation Partnership and an assistant professor of climate science and extension specialist at the University of Minnesota. She also serves as the Director of Knowledge Transfer for the NSF-funded COLDEX Science and Technology Center.

Dr. Roop's research and extension programs have taken her from Antarctica to Minnesota, and they combine cutting-edge climate science and effective science communication to increase the use and integration of climate change information in decision-making at a whole range of scales, from city and state to national and international levels.

If you've struggled to find a way to get involved in the climate fight, this book and this conversation are for you.
