In our region, the climate crisis will demand substantial community engagement and investments in resilient infrastructure. With the urgency of the climate crisis, community resilience requires that we promote equity for all, especially the most vulnerable. What is climate justice and how can we implement it in our engagement with cities? What actions can we take to support climate equity and build community resilience?

A diverse panel of local experts will present their perspectives and answer compelling questions to guide our work on climate in our region.
