CLIMATE RESILIENCE 101

Climate Preparedness Training for Elected Officials

Training Watershed Leaders.

Local governments know to invest in firefighters to protect communities from fire. But mayors, city councilors, and select board members are often not yet prepared to respond to the climate crisis with the urgency it necessitates.

Climate impacts like flooding, drought, and extreme heat are already being felt in our watershed, yet our local leaders often lack the information they need to respond to these growing threats.

That’s where we come in––we’re educating local elected officials on how to build climate resilience with nature-based solutions, building legislative support for resilience initiatives, and accelerating climate adaptation in our watershed as a whole.

Climate Resilience 101 Toolkit:

Resources, tools, and examples to help local elected officials advance climate preparedness initiatives in their community to build resilience across the watershed.

Helping Communities Prepare for Climate Change:

We’re meeting with your local leaders across the watershed to help them take action for climate resilience. Watch our recent trainings for Dedham, Franklin, Medfield, Milford, Natick, Norfolk, Sherborn, Waltham, Watertown, and Wellesley.
