Hosted by Resilience 21
Twenty-one years into the 21st century, we find our nation in existential crisis, with the very foundations of our society besieged and crumbling: our social compact, government institutions, public health, physical infrastructure, and natural environment—even our shared reality and American ideals. What progress has been made over our nation’s history towards social equity erodes again, leaving our most vulnerable people more vulnerable still. We can no longer ignore the crises we face—some of which, like climate change, are gaining intensity.
Resilience 21 is a coalition of more than 50 of the nation’s leading practitioners working with cities and communities of all sizes and types to build resilience to present and growing shocks and stresses, with an emphasis on the natural hazards worsened by climate change, and the exacerbated impacts faced by marginalized communities. This Climate Event will feature a range of short presentations and discussion from Resilience Leadership from the Coalition to discuss their base-building model resilience efforts. www.resilience21.org
