Green Building United's Climate Resilient Communities initiative seeks to address climate injustice by assisting communities at the neighborhood level through climate change knowledge exchange and action.
Green Building United does this by addressing both the social and built environments because the effects of climate change and substandard housing disproportionately impact low-income communities. This work includes developing educational opportunities around resiliency and above code standards.
We are excited to be continuing our work with Philadelphia Association of Community Development Corporations (PACDC) to coordinate community climate resilience workshops after our first successful event in 2018. Workshops gather urban planners, project managers, developers, community groups, and interested community members to discuss how climate change is impacting Philadelphia communities and what can be done to address impacts at the local level.
Future workshops will be posted on our events page, and you can read more about last year's workshop below.
