Community Climate Resilience Network Session - January 2025

Learn more about community resilience hubs in this kick-off session of our Community Climate Resilience Network (CCRN)!
MNIPL has a vision of thousands of local resilience hubs across our state. In blue sky times, these strengthen community relationships. In climate fueled emergencies, they provide resources and refuge. In recovery, they provide hope and rebuild. We think you and others who care about climate justice are the vital partners to explore and bring this vision forward: a Minnesota Community Climate Resilience Network.
