Coastal Climate Resilience Collaborative Presentation Series
Coastal Climate Resilience Collaborative Presentation Series
This virtual presentation series was developed for the Coastal Climate Resilience Collaborative to support capacity-building and generate actionable ideas to accelerate implementation of resilience measures. The sessions, which were hosted weekly, explored a diverse set of themes including technical guidance, social equity, Indigenous knowledge systems, and low-carbon resilience. These topics were selected in close collaboration with members of the Collaborative to reflect the broad and interconnected dimensions of climate adaptation. Each session includes a presentation and a facilitated Q&A, creating space for shared learning on how insights from the sessions can inform real-world resilience efforts.
