SUMMARY:Resilience from the Ground Up: Care Systems as Climate Infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:As climate impacts intensify\, local governments are recognizing that social resilience and ecological resilience are deeply intertwined. This session explores how municipal care systems\, ranging from community support networks and social safety nets to public health and caretaking services\, function as critical\, frontline climate infrastructure. By centering equity\, gender justice\, and local governance\, speakers will share experiences in how investing in care work and community well-being strengthens urban adaptability\, protects vulnerable populations during extreme climate events\, and builds long-term institutional resilience from the ground up. \nREGISTER HERE \nThursday\, September 24\, 2026\,\n6:00PM to 8:00PM\nKlein Conference Room\nAlvin Johnson/J.M.
