Environment

Information and materials from the 2016 convening of Climate Resilience and Urban Opportunity Initiative grantee convening in Chicago. The gathering included delegations from a cohort of 15 nonprofit organizations working at the intersection of climate change and social equity funded through the Initiative, as well as additional grantees funded across Kresge’s Environment Program involved in activities to strengthen climate resilience in low-income communities. The Initiative’s goal is to influence local climate resilience planning and policies that better reflect the needs and priorities of low-income communities in American cities.
