Cohousing-L Mailing List: Thursday, April 3: Building Climate Resiliency Workshop with CohoUS

[Carolyn Pruitt (carolyn]

Hi everyone,


Thank you to those of you who contributed to the climate resiliency 
conversation on this listserv last week! Your insights and examples were so 
helpful! Like many of you, concerns around how we can help process, adapt, and 
prepare for the current (and future) climate challenges we face have been top 
of mind for us at CohoUS recently as well.


On Thursday, April 3rd, at 3pm MT, CohoUS will be hosting our next event: 
Building Climate Resiliency.


We hope the time we’ll share next week can contribute to this growing and 
important conversation!


Led by Dr. Jen Myers, sustainability educator at the Thrive Ithaca EcoVillage 
Education Center, this workshop will offer tools for cohousing communities 
interested in all aspects of resiliency planning, from disaster preparedness to 
climate support groups. Dr. Myers will share a climate resiliency assessment 
tool developed by the Global Ecovillage Network and discuss the EcoVillage at 
Ithaca’s efforts to decarbonize, set benchmarks, and develop goals for climate 
adaptation.


Participants in this interactive workshop are invited to share space with 
others who are feeling the weight of the climate crisis and practice strategies 
for community resilience building.
