This report examines climate adaptation strategies for 25 National Critical Functions (NCFs) at risk of disruption from climate change. The focus is on impact pathways, each of which is a combination of climate drivers (such as drought and flooding) and impact mechanisms (such as physical damage and workforce shortages) affecting a given NCF. The emphasis is on strategies that owner-operators of critical functions might implement.

The “happiness agenda” is a worldwide movement that claims that happiness is the highest good, happiness can be measured, and public policy should promote happiness. Against Happiness is a thorough and powerful critique of this program, revealing the flaws of its concept of happiness and advocating a renewed focus on equality and justice.Written by an interdisciplinary team of authors, this book provides both theoretical and empirical analysis of the limitations of the happiness agenda. The authors emphasize that this movement draws on a parochial, Western-centric philosophical basis and demographic sample. They show that happiness defined as subjective satisfaction or a surplus of positive emotions bears little resemblance to the richer and more nuanced concepts of the good life found in many world traditions. Cross-cultural philosophy, comparative theology, and social and cultural psychology all teach that cultures and subcultures vary in how much value they place on life satisfaction or feeling happy. Furthermore, the ideas promoted by the happiness agenda can compete with rights, justice, sustainability, and equality—and even conceal racial and gender injustice.Against Happiness argues that a better way forward requires integration of cross-cultural philosophical, ethical, and political thought with critical social science. Ultimately, the authors contend, happiness should be a secondary goal—worth pursuing only if it is contingent on the demands of justice.

Can we become perfect? Even with our best intentions, we easily get caught in the trap of trying to do and be enough for our callings, our family, ourselves' even God. Trying to be perfect can lead to feeling like we' re never enough, feeding emotions like anxiety, guilt, and shame. In Perfect in Christ: Trading the Burden of Enough for the Beauty of Sufficient, author Michelle Wilson invites us to stop trying to perfect ourselves and instead focus on moving closer to Jesus Christ, who can perfect us. With hope, faith, humility, and repentance, we are accepted by Christ who guides us to become more than we are capable of being on our own. When we embrace the beauty of sufficient, obligation is replaced by motivation, anxiety is replaced by excitement, guilt is replaced by grace, and shame is replaced by love. As we move closer to Jesus Christ, His sufficient grace and strength will make us perfect' perfect in Him.
