CEC Climate Resilience Roundtable: Community Solutions to Protect Against Climate Change – Webinar (IN ENGLISH & SPANISH)
Join the Community Environmental Council for the final roundtable in CEC’s series to address climate resilience in Santa Barbara County, Friday March 12, 2021 from 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. and for a Roundtable discussion (limited space) from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. This virtual event will be presented in English with Spanish interpretation.
This free webinar will highlight the themes, values, and bold ideas generated from the year-long Climate Resilience Roundtable series – solutions that can safeguard us from the inevitable impacts of climate change and move us toward a community resilience vision. We’ll discuss:
- Values and guiding principles needed for equitable climate resilience.
- Top ideas and initiatives identified in the roundtable series that could be leveraged and worked on collaboratively.
- How to align local climate resilience efforts with planning, priorities, and funding opportunities at the regional, state, and federal level.
Following the webinar, there will be a Roundtable Discussion designed for planners, practitioners, and doers interested in coalescing around key projects and themes elevated in the roundtable series. We will explore opportunities for collaboration and partnership alignment around top project ideas and ways to move toward something implementable and fundable.
Who Should Attend:
- Resilience Roundtable series participants who want to see how their ideas and input connect to a larger vision of resilience and action moving forward.
- Anyone interested in joining the conversation about what is needed to foster just and equitable climate resilience.
- Climate and resilience planners and practitioners interested in engaging community members in visioning, decision-making, and collaboration.
- Anyone working in health, community empowerment, social justice, basic needs, the environment, planning, disaster preparedness, the arts, education, or economic sectors who want to further incorporate resilience into their work.
