The Lane Climate and Equity And Resilience Task Force is planning to hold a virtual community forum on May 12th for folks to sign-up to learn more about the Task Force and how to get involved. | Download the flyer (PDF)
National research and local experience have shown that the impacts of climate change tend to disproportionately impact marginalized communities, such as communities of color, low-income communities, the elderly, and people experiencing disabilities. There has not been a focus on identifying community resilience or adaptation strategies. To address this, Beyond Toxics and the NAACP have developed a partnership with Lane County staff to develop a Climate Equity and Resilience Task Force.
Here is the community forum meeting registration link:
