The third session of the MMA’s “Climate Action” webinar series, on April 30, will explore how to design effective community engagement efforts.
Julie Gagen, sustainability coordinator in Weston, and Michele Paul, director of resilience and environmental stewardship in New Bedford, will share best practices for engaging different populations in climate planning and adapting to community needs.
They will share engagement efforts used in their communities, and discuss the importance of routinely re-evaluating the effectiveness of efforts over time. They will also highlight the importance of building community connections and giving residents ownership throughout the process.
Online registration is open for the 75-minute webinar.
The “Climate Action” webinar series explores how climate change impacts municipalities and addresses how municipal officials and staff can take action. The series will continue throughout 2024, with more webinars to be announced in the coming months.
Only MMA members may register for this webinar. Members include appointed or elected officials from member communities across the state. Media members are not permitted to attend.
