Climate Resilience: An Urgent Opportunity for U.S. Leadership

As world leaders prepared to attend the Leaders Summit on Climate, the Resilience Roadmap project convened this one-hour conversation to hear from resilience leaders inside the Biden-Harris Administration and from Tribes and other sub-national voices. The Resilience Roadmap is a non-partisan project convened in 2021 by Duke University's Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions and Susan Bell & Associates.

- Cecilia Martinez, Senior Director for Environmental Justice, Council on Environmental Quality
- Michael Connor, Partner, WilmerHale

This event was part of U.S. Climate Action Week, convened by The Climate Group to bring together side events, announcements, and other key moments to complement the Leaders Summit on Climate.
