This session will bring together new partnerships and provide opportunities for attendees to learn more about the climate impacts facing our local communities as well as the available resources and pathways to take actions on both a community and political level. This session will briefly communicate the latest climate trends facing Utah and highlight the resources, stories, and tools attendees can utilize to lead-by-example, hold local leaders accountable, incorporate equitable solutions, and rally fellow loved ones to become more involved in their local neighborhoods, communities, and governments. The panel will be comprised of experienced and passionate nonprofit leaders, equipped with eclectic backgrounds and committed to advancing equitable climate solutions for the state of Utah and beyond. Session attendees will be empowered and challenged to think “outside the box” in terms of identifying community/local government engagement opportunities, learning more about local grassroots movements, and elevating conversations around climate and equity.
