Co-developing Adaptation Design with Community-Generated Data
​Julia Kumari Drapkin, ISeeChange
​​November 3, 2022 / 4 - 5 p.m. ET
​
 
This session will focus on how community participation in climate data generation and co-design initiatives can more effectively address climate impacts and improve adaptation planning as well as community well-being. ISeeChange is a networked community climate knowledge platform designed to engage residents in the exchange of information on how climate impacts their communities, give voice to the most vulnerable, and create data that can be used by local decision makers. It is built on the idea that residents are the best source of information on how to address climate impacts and a commitment to evolving collaborative relationships across residents, public sector partners, and private innovators. The presentation will focus on flood, extreme heat, and energy infrastructure projects across the U.S. and the impact of community data on project design, monitoring, and community development.

Mission

Community Adaptation Learning Exchange (CALE) is a peer-learning network that convenes conversations about climate adaptation practice to facilitate knowledge development and support member connections. 

CALE Sessions

CALE’s bi-monthly sessions are focused on elevating the experience and perspectives of all those working to advance community responses to climate change and learning from successes and failures working to support sustainable, equitable, and resilient communities.

​The sessions focus on exploring adaptation topics and projects through a set of unifying questions and considerations, asking all invited speakers: to unpack underlying assumptions, to elaborate goals and priorities, to address the role of racial equity and inclusion, and to revisit failures / opportunities for improvement. CALE programming is organized around a yearly thematic focus. 


CALE's theme for 2022-2023 is exploring the ways that adaptation and resilience planning can drive economic opportunity.
