Climate Hub Organizational Strategies

Abstract: CLEAN is a phenomenal resource for climate education materials. Are there similar go-to locations for climate action opportunities? Several efforts throughout the country are rising to the challenge of offering individuals opportunities to "get into action" on climate issues. The Oregon Climate Action Hub has been working for the past year to develop a one-stop shop for the state of Oregon, and organizer Karen Wolfgang will share about this effort as well as the Climate Hubs Collaborative, which brings together other organizations working toward similar ends in multiple locales. And, of course, she'll invite your engagement!

Bio: Karen Wolfgang lives and works in her hometown of Portland, Oregon. Personally and professionally, she is driven to help people find ways to connect with each other to care for their communities and ecosystems. Karen graduated from Princeton University with a BA in Anthropology and Environmental Studies; at Portland State University, she earned an MA in Educational Leadership, with a specialization in Leadership in Ecology, Culture, and Learning. In 2009, Karen founded Independence Gardens, a small business focused on sustainable land care and home repair. She put the business in hibernation in 2016, in anticipation of adopting two children with special needs in 2017. Since, she has been teaching and consulting, focusing on community resilience in all aspects of her work. At present, Karen works remotely for a small climate solutions-focused family foundation based in Seattle, WA. She is proud of her role instigating various community projects, like the Oregon School Garden Summit, Centennial Neighborhood Emergency Team, and Oregon Climate Action Hub.
