Ginger Wireman: Public participation in climate action
Abstract: As climate impacts become more obvious across North America, some communities are preparing adaptation and resiliency plans. This session asks, who is educating people for action. As climate educators, are we at the table when municipal planning takes place?Should we be? Where is the need for education in public participation efforts to address climate change? Where is there room for cooperation and collaboration across professions? The need to scale up community action for climate change is critical. Can we break down silos to speed up the process?
