About this event

  • 2 hours 30 minutes

Join us to amplify community-driven efforts addressing climate solutions related to food systems & circular economy (i.e. farm to table, addressing food waste), and natural climate solutions (i.e. tree planting, green spaces, preventing erosion, addressing severe weather), and transportation. This event will honor communities by acknowledging and celebrating strengths and climate work, identify priorities for community-driven actions through guided conversations, and detemine next steps for advancing forward together with tangible solutions.

Along with meeting community members inspired to make a positive difference, there will be other benefits for attending:
