Over the past year, Vermont felt the effects of climate change acutely. Floods, heat waves, power outages and droughts are just some of the hardships climate change posed upon Vermonters.
The Resilience Implementation Strategy is an effort by the State of Vermont to plan for a climate-resilient future, where Vermonters can feel more resilient in their daily life and ultimately, withstand and recover from the harmful impacts of climate change. The Strategy will integrate and build upon significant work done to date including the Climate Action Plan, the State Hazard Mitigation Plan, the VTrans Resilience Improvement Plan, and much more.
Please join Secretary Julie Moore of the Agency of Natural Resources, State Treasurer Mike Pieciak, and the Climate Action Office for a virtual event to kick off the development of Vermont’s Resilience Implementation Strategy. Together, we will:
-
understand what the Resilience Implementation Strategy is and why it is needed,
-
gather ideas and input that will help craft a vision for a climate-resilient Vermont—and explore why a vision is important to the Strategy’s success,
-
and invite future participation in next steps.
