More Session Details
Local climate-resilience planning that is racially and socially equitable is key to building effective climate resilience for all. How do we accelerate the pace of climate-solutions implementation to match the intensification of climate disruptions and impacts on communities? This multi-stakeholder, course offers a training on racially equitable, community-driven climate-resilience planning principles, practices, and models.
The course highlights key concepts from two recently published reports on community-driven planning, one by Raimi + Associates and the Urban Sustainability Directors Network and the other by the National Association of Climate Resilience Planners. The former is geared towards local planning audiences, and the latter towards community-based organizations. These guides complement each other, describing authentic, effective collaboration between local planning professionals and community leaders/experts. The course also includes successful examples of community-driven planning that center racial equity across the country in New Orleans, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Washington, D.C.
