We have an opening for ONE more online Community Resilience Building Workshop in-partnership with The Nature Conservancy.
The Community Resilience Building (CRB) Workshop is a tool developed by The Nature Conservancy. During the workshop participants define climate hazards, identify strengths and vulnerabilities, and develop and prioritize actions to build resilience. Schools can use this workshop to complete their Resilience Assessment and begin the planning process. Second Nature recommends the CRB model, especially for campuses looking to initiate resilience work with community partners and campuses interested in a participatory process to engage stakeholders. Please visit the CRB website for guidance on organizing and facilitating a workshop.
Email Chantal Madray (cmadray@secondnature.org) if interested in setting up an exploratory call with Second Nature and The Nature Conservancy.
The Sustainable Endowments Institute in partnership with Second Nature and other organizations will be hosting monthly peer-to-peer calls to foster sharing of experience and making new connections. The topic of each call will be determined based on community interest/voting for preferred topics. Each call will be limited to just 20 people to help provide enough space for each participant to contribute but the recording and call notes will be shared afterwards.
You can vote for preferred topics by clicking on the button below. The voting deadline is Friday, February 4th!
