Climate Equity LA Series: Introduction to Equitable Climate Resilience | April 7, 2022

Join our Earth Month 🌎 Climate Equity LA Series on Community-Driven Climate Resilience

In Part II of the Climate Equity LA Series, we will explore how we center equity & justice in the co-design and implementation of climate adaptation plans, tools, and community resilience investments, and how these must reflect the voices, experiences, and expertise of those impacted by climate change. We will also present the need for building capacity and social networks to strengthen climate resilience in the face of disaster, and the need for re-defining hazards and emergencies to address the more present and frequent climate hazards Los Angeles experiences. Further still, we are exploring recommendations that support a just recovery, jobs, and advocating for solutions that match the scale of the climate crisis.

Topics we will cover include Intro to climate resilience; mitigating climate risks and hazards; and community driven climate emergency preparedness over the course of the workshops on April 7, 14, and 21.
