Sustaining Resilience Efforts Through Collaboration in The Face Of Change
People. Data. Funding. Design. Climate knows no borders and that's why we're tackling resilience, one challenge at a time... together!
Over the past several decades, sustainability and emergency management practices have evolved, yet coordinated climate actions across jurisdictions remain essential. As funding and policy conditions shift, state and local governments, as well as practitioners, are increasingly adopting collaborative approaches to address capacity and resource gaps.
This session will focus on both the successes and challenges encountered through practical examples. Panelists will discuss strategies for overcoming funding gaps in adaptation efforts, leveraging partnerships, and utilizing shared data to support ongoing local resilience initiatives.
