Community Resilience Summit 2020.

online, 6 November 2020

The Resilience Summit took place on November 6th 2020. With 150 people registered, it culminated into a fantastic day of action-oriented workshops to help develop a Climate Action and Resilience Plan to 2030 for the island and coastal communities. We had elected officials and members of staff from across the VICC region join us and input knowledge, expertise, and visions for our shared future. 

Thank you so much to those who joined us. We will be in touch with more information!

​If you would like to hear more about our work, and were not able to attend the summit, please contact us and we will add you to our mailing list.
