This half-day workshop will examine collaborative and diverse methodologies for moving forward community level climate action strategies supported by climate change education coordinated efforts that enable cross sector coalition building at community scales to ensure we can reduce both greenhouse gas emissions and climate risks. We will have a special focus on equity and inclusion and will invite speakers from frontline and diverse communities. Through this dialogue we will learn together and foster collaborations across sectors and communities. We invite all who are interested in contributing to and learning from this ongoing discussion.
