How do we respond to the Climate and Nature Crisis?

This is a highly participatory workshop looking at how we can respond to the twin threats of climate change and nature loss at the community level. It will start with a short overview that looks at where we are today with the climate and nature crisis and introduces the concepts of resilience and adaptation. This will be followed by guided sessions in which participants identify key threats to their communities and develop ideas about how individuals and communities might respond to these threats. The aim is for participants to identify practical actions that they and their communities can take to increase their resilience to climate change and related threats.

Info: Rapid overview of the twin crises of climate change and environmental destruction, their drivers and implications; introduction to adaptation and resilience; understanding climate adn related risks; opportunity for participants to ask general questions.

Info: Participants identify key hazards and impacts affecting them and their communities; discussion of who/what is most at risk and why; what form might future risks take?

Info: Quick recap of different types of adaptation; participants identify possible adaptation and resilience actions and discuss their pros and cons; who would be involved, who would benefit & who might be left out/object?

Info: Participants work together to draft an adaptation and resilience action plan, bringing together learning from previous sessions to identify priority actions, key players and next steps. How might this plan, or a version of it, be pitched to the wider community? How can action be 'scaled up' at the local level?
