Full Description
As unprecedented heat waves, storms of the century, and devastating fires impact cities, the time to
create climate resilient communities is now. While large-scale innovations in policy and technology are necessary to
preserve the planet, the wisest and most lasting adaptation solutions originate at the local level. However, with something
as large as the climate crisis, it can be hard to know where to begin.
Climate Action for Busy People is a hopeful and realistic roadmap for individuals and groups who want to boost climate
preparedness and move the needle towards environmental justice. Drawing from her professional and personal success in
climate adaptation and community organising, Cate Mingoya-LaFortune begins with a brief history of why our
communities look the way they do (spoiler, it's not an accident!) and how that affects how vulnerable we are to climate
risks. Each chapter will help readers scale up their actions, from identifying climate solutions that an individual or small
group can pull off in a handful of weekends, like tree plantings or depaving parties, to advocating for change at the
municipal level through coalition-building and data collection. It's not too late for people of all ages and skill levels to
create climate safe neighborhoods.
Climate Action for Busy People is an invaluable guide for anyone who wants to make lasting and equitable improvements
that will make their communities climate resilient.
