Instructor Biography
Lisa Churchill is a climate change expert, with a focus on the intersect of the built and natural environments. She started her career as a transportation planner before becoming interested in the carbon markets and, more recently, in alternative financing and investment options related to resilience. She leads climate adaptation projects for the public and private sectors, and has presented at the Pentagon and a Congressional Briefing on climate security and investments in resilient infrastructure. Her training as a paleontologist, with a focus on mass extinctions, has given her a unique perspective on the characteristics of resilient systems. Lisa has served as a faculty member for an executive-level course on Urban Resilience offered through MIT, is co-editing a book on climate change for design professionals (through ACEC), and a best practices guide for Resilient Labs (through I2SL). She has also led original research quantifying the financial and economic impacts of climate change at the city level which will be published by the Urban Land Institute later this summer.
