On April 5, Jennifer Li will join climate justice experts Ashley Shelton (Power Coalition for Equity and Justice), Asti Davis (Deep South Center for Environmental Justice), and Dennis Chestnut (Resilience Hub Community Coalition) for a virtual discussion to explore some of the opportunities and challenges that frontline communities face when confronting climate disasters. The discussion will contrast the pursuit of "resilience" as a climate adaptation goal against the need for long-term, permanent policies that address systemic inequality in the United States and globally. The panel will be the first of a four-part series on "Responding to Climate-Amplified Extreme Weather Events," and is sponsored by the National Adaptation Forum, the C02 Foundation, and EcoAdapt.
