Dr. Amy Snover recently sat down with UW News to reflect on her 20+ years at the Climate Impacts Group, what she’s most proud of, and share her thoughts on overcoming hopelessness in the face of climate change. Amy’s last day with the Climate Impacts Group and NW CASC is Wednesday, June 15, 2022. She is retiring to spend more time with her husband, Chip.
Amy has led the NW CASC since 2017. Her leadership and dedication to the NW CASC mission has contributed to a robust program that is advancing climate adaptation across the Northwest. Dr. Meade Krosby, currently the University Deputy Director for the NW CASC, will be taking over for Amy as the University Director.
“No matter what you do, or what your skills are, you can have a role in shaping that future and thinking about how we prepare for and reduce climate change. Early on it seemed like you had to be a scientist or an engineer to have a role in this issue, but that’s not true at all. Everyone is implicated in building a resilient society, by which I mean: everyone is responsible, and everyone has something to give.”
