All Hands on Deck: Data, Dollars, and Local Action for Climate Resilience
Join us for a dynamic conversation exploring how climate resilience is driven by the intersection of data, funding, policy, and community leadership. As extreme weather intensifies and environmental impacts grow more complex, governments, researchers, and communities alike must navigate vast datasets, shifting policies, and resource constraints. Panelists will examine how environmental data can inform equitable decision-making, the challenges and opportunities in accessing and aligning funding and policy, and the essential role of local knowledge and community-driven action in shaping adaptive strategies. Together, these elements form the foundation for inclusive, effective climate resilience.
