DESCRIPTION:Join the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment for a dis
 cussion with Bruce Cain\, author of Under Fire and Under Water: Extreme We
 ather\, the West\, and the Fight to Shape America’s Future. \n\nBruce E.
  Cain is the author of Under Fire and Under Water: Extreme Weather\, the W
 est\, and the Fight to Shape America’s Future\, a timely examination of 
 how climate-driven wildfires\, droughts\, and flooding are reshaping the A
 merican West. Cain\, a professor of political science at Stanford Universi
 ty and Director of the Bill Lane Center for the American West\, is a leadi
 ng scholar of U.S. politics and widely recognized for his expertise in pol
 itical regulation\, representation\, and state politics\, with a particula
 r emphasis on California and the American West.\n\nDrawing on decades of s
 cholarship in U.S. politics\, environmental regulations\, and stakeholder 
 engagement\, Cain analyzes why communities continue to settle and rebuild 
 in high-risk areas and how fragmented governance\, infrastructure legacies
 \, and political incentives slow meaningful climate adaptation. In this ta
 lk\, he and Woods faculty director Chris Field will explore how understand
 ing the political and behavioral roots of inaction is essential to develop
 ing durable solutions for living sustainably in a warming world. \n\nFor m
