Climate Action for Busy People

By Cate Mingoya-LaFortune

Book Overview

As unprecedented heat waves, storms of the century, and devastating fires impact cities across the country, 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 organizing, Cate Mingoya-LaFortune begins with a brief history of why our communities look the way they do and how that affects how vulnerable we are to climate risks. Each chapter will help listeners scale up their actions, from identifying climate solutions that an individual or small group can pull off in a handful of weekends to advocating for change at the municipal level. 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.
