In climate adaptation work, addressing immediate priorities of frontline coastal and floodplain communities is key to building trust and adaptive capacity that can outlive any singular “project.”
Join Mithun associate principal Laura Durgerian for “Climate Refuge Now: Working Toward Trust and Self-determination Across a Spatial Spectrum” to see how different community-grounded approaches have generated enduring and contextually nuanced strategies for adapting in place, relocating and fostering emergent pathways to resilience. Attendees will learn how to apply inclusive, context-based engagement strategies and access replicable resources including worksheets, workshop sequencing and specific techniques.
Laura’s co-presenters are Pacific Conservation District marine & estuarine resilience program manager Jackson Blalock, and Buy-IN Community Planning founder and executive director Kelly Leilani Main.
