LISTENING SESSION
Climate Communities
December 8, 2022 | 12:00–1:30 PM ET
Join the NAM for a virtual listening session on Thursday, December 8, 2022, 12:00-1:30pm ET to learn about and provide input on the Climate Communities Network, a forthcoming initiative of the NAM’s Grand Challenge on Climate Change, Human Health, and Equity.
The combined, intersecting impact of climate change and structural racism has contributed to and exacerbated health inequities among historically and currently marginalized communities in the U.S. These communities are often not equitably engaged as partners in the related research, policy, intervention, and funding decisions that affect their community’s health.
The NAM aims to bolster this kind of engagement by launching the Climate Communities Network – a forum for community leaders in U.S. regions disproportionately impacted by climate change to work collaboratively on solutions to climate-related health inequities faced by their communities.
During this listening session, attendees will have an opportunity to share their perspectives in service of shaping this new initiative at the intersection of climate change, health equity, and community engagement.
