This pragmatic, hands-on, interactive conference offers workshops on how to:
* Conduct vulnerability assessments;
* Protect natural and societal mechanisms that maintain resilience;
* Frame and create plans that allow a community to adapt;
* Build community support to implement adaptive responses;
* Effectively use the government in responding to climate change;
* Network with schools, community planners and leaders working toward solving similar problems.
