A series of virtual and in-person community events
in 6 locations in the U.S. and Canada
Biodiversity for a Livable Climate has partnered with the Post Carbon Institute and many local community groups to bring you a series of events on transitioning our communities to manage our ecological crises. These events are taking place virtually on Zoom and in-person at community events in 6 locations throughout the U.S. and Canada.
The purpose of the series is to educate residents in each community on our predicament of declining fossil fuels, the power of ecosystem restoration to cool our communities and the planet, the urgent need to grow more food locally, and the strategies local leaders are using to redesign our communities for life after fossil fuels.
The fifth installation in our series is this Fall 2023 with community leaders from Corvallis, Oregon and the surrounding region. Our past four events have elevated the forward thinking work of diverse community leaders in and around Cleveland, Los Angeles, Kansas City and Montgomery County, Maryland.
In Part 1, our virtual event on Zoom, local leaders from Oregon will join Keynote speaker Richard Heinberg, author and senior fellow at the Post Carbon Institute, and national leaders from Biodiversity for a Livable Climate (Bio4Climate), to share their expertise, resources, and practical solutions to build resilience for these rapidly changing times.
Then join us for Part 2 at local Community Engagement Events hosted in or near Corvallis, Oregon. Learn strategies for increasing resilience, help out with a community project, and build practical skills so you can replicate these projects at home and in your neighborhood.
