OVERVIEW

COMMUNITY RESILIENCE

Building community resilience and adaptive capacity requires an informed, engaged, and prepared public. Collaboration is one of The CLEO Institute’s core values because we recognize the need for an interdisciplinary approach to solve the climate crisis. The success of our work includes harnessing the support of several partner institutions to inform, host, and promote events and initiatives. Today, we continue to provide participants unique opportunities to make connections between the many causes and effects of climate justice; recognize multiple approaches to addressing solutions; and develop the ability to advocate for climate action and build community-wide resilience.

CLIMATE JUSTICE

SYNOPSIS

Workshops focused on the basics of the climate crisis, hurricane preparedness, extreme heat, and other climate justice concerns.

AUDIENCE

Individuals, groups, and communities.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

  • The basics of the climate crisis and how it impacts your community.
  • Connect with members of your community on critical climate justice issues.
  • Learn to better prepare your home on a budget for extreme weather events, and receive free hurricane supplies.

WHY IT MATTERS

  • Climate disruptions disproportionately affect the most vulnerable in society, i.e. those with fewer resources or safety nets.
  • Strengthening neighborhood resilience requires you to be informed so you can make relevant policy decisions and have the resources to protect your families and communities.
  • An informed, resilient community can more effectively bounce back from stressors such as hurricanes, floods, heat waves and other climate-related events.
