EnCaf Forums

Community Resilience & The Most Vulnerable

Climate change will affect the most vulnerable in our local communities. Temperatures are on the rise and extreme weather is becoming common place. We have to tackle this not such by mitigation – addressing the causes of climate change – but by adaptation as well. How do we adapt to this new world and create resilience in our communities.

This is what the Forum is about and what EnCaf is doing in partnership with others to address the crisis of climate change.

So join us in March to discuss what can be done and what we can all do together

Join us on Tuesday, March 31st at 7.00 pm
