The Climate Resilience Podcast
Special episode: Hurricane Katrina at 20
In this powerful special episode of The Climate Resilience Podcast, host Phil Emonson is joined by Mannan Donoghoe, a Fellow at The Brookings Institution’s Centre for Community Uplift and co-author of the recently published New Orleans Index at Twenty report.
Together, Phil and Mannan unpack the report, which is a comprehensive look at how the city has rebounded, reimagined, and rebuilt in the two decades since Hurricane Katrina. This conversation examines both the measurable progress and the ongoing challenges of building a city that can withstand the storms of the future. Mannan’s insights, grounded in rigorous social science and informed by global climate justice and environmental policy experience, shed light on how New Orleans has become a living laboratory for urban resilience.
Whether you’re a policymaker, a resilience practitioner, or simply inspired by stories of recovery and transformation, this episode offers a rare blend of data, lived experience, and forward-thinking vision for building stronger, more equitable cities in the face of climate change.
