The impacts of climate change have arrived squarely on Vermonters’ doorsteps, delivering disproportionate impacts and swamping already-strapped municipal budgets. In this workshop, hear from national resilience and recovery experts – Rebuild by Design – about Vermont’s unique climate risks. Panelists will then walk through Vermonters’ short and long-term recovery needs identified through their work in communities to center equitable community engagement into resilience planning and disaster recovery. Join us to learn about strategies communities in Vermont and across the U.S. are utilizing to recover from fossil-fueled disasters – and resilience solutions that might work for your community.
Co-hosting with Rebuild By Design, VNRC, VCRD, and VPIRG.
Panel includes presentations on VT’s Climate Risks, Centering Environmental Justice Communities and Community Engagement, and Designing Collaborative Outreach Processes with Communities.
