Although much of the climate debate focuses on individuals, research clearly shows that the deep, lasting, and effective solutions to climate impacts come from community level collaboration and the bonds this work creates. This course explores the importance of building community and the ways you can mobilize community to build resilience. Designed for people working in a wide range of community and organizational contexts, this course will give you practical tools to organize the support you and others in your community need to sustain collective climate action.

Equitable and effective climate action must, by definition, centre the people and communities that are most vulnerable to climate impacts. But organizations are often juggling multiple priorities and financial constraints alongside their climate planning, and equity and justice can take a back seat. This course will help you navigate and address those tensions. You'll sharpen your understandings of climate justice and learn how to design more equitable and resilient climate solutions.
