The Interactive Climate Action Plan Workshop

Are you worried about the impact of climate change on your community but unsure how to take action? Is your North American small town grappling with increasing climate challenges such as drought, wildfires, flooding, or heat waves?

Would your community find it difficult to hire an expensive climate consultant to develop a plan?

We are here to help you create your own climate action plan with an assisted, do-it-yourself, step-by-step process. Join our training program designed to empower you with the knowledge and tools to:

  • Identify and prioritize your community’s climate challenges,
  • discover practical solutions,
  • develop a comprehensive climate action plan tailored for your community,
  • and present it to funding agencies with well-prepared, professional documentation.

Your community deserves access to evidence-based solutions for climate change that have been road-tested by other communities similar to yours. We emphasize affordable, do-it-yourself, common-sense solutions that leverage country wisdom and know-how.

This workshop is open to all, regardless of your community’s size or budget constraints. We especially encourage participation from:

  • Small rural towns,
  • frontline communities,
  • indigenous communities,
  • farming and ranching communities,
  • and individual community members.

By the end of this workshop, you will have developed a concrete product: a climate action plan designed specifically for your community.
