CLIMATE WORKSHOP AT THE CLEARING – 2 DAYS

THURS JAN 30 & THURS FEB 6, FROM 9 AM TO 12 NOON

INSTRUCTORS DENEEN WISKE, ROY THILLY, & JEFF LUTSEY

On these two days, we will work together to answer the questions:

(1) What are the most significant climate risks and vulnerabilities to Door County?

and

(2) How do we begin creating a resilience plan to address those risks?

____________

On Day 1 (Jan. 30), we will summarize current climate data and Door County climate work to date. Climate resilience expert Sascha Peterson of Adaptation International, will introduce community-level climate action planning, provide examples from other communities, and offer suggestions for our approach and strategy.

On Day 2 (Feb 6), we will build upon our work from Day 1 to identify and prioritize the climate risks we face in Door County. We will break into working groups that will each focus on a specific vulnerability and brainstorm practical next steps to address the risk to develop a resilience action plan for each risk.

Our goal over these two days is to create the roadmap to help us organize and inspire community-wide involvement in climate resilience planning, and engage key partners and supporters to fully develop and execute a Door County Climate Resilience Plan. Results from this workshop will be immediately incorporated into the Climate Change Coalition’s 2025 work plan with work and milestones as soon as spring 2025.

Educational Programming

CCC regularly brings science based free educational programming to the Door County communities. Our goal is to bring awareness to climate change and the effects it will have on our daily lives. CCC strives to introduce solutions to mitigate climate change, foster adaptation to a changing environment, and inspire action to avoid the most severe effects of the climate crisis.
