We know two things: Climate-related weather emergencies are happening at a faster pace and in more places and they have a disproportionate impact on vulnerable communities, especially communities of color. What have we learned about what communities can do to address climate change while simultaneously preparing for the reality that is increasingly presented? green|spaces, Chattanooga's Sustainability Nonprofit, will present our working definition of community resilience and the wide range of programs that we have developed to address resilience in the Chattanooga region. We will then facilitate working groups that will identify challenges in communities represented by attendees and develop cross-sector strategies to address those challenges.
