We’re talking with qualified communities nationwide who are excited to participate in Climate Solutions University but who are also facing challenges to find matching funds for this program. Our primary role throughout the climate planning process is to provide support. We are working with interested communities to help fill funding gaps and have extended our application deadline as a result.
Your organization is invited to apply to the 2013 programs of Climate Solutions University (CSU)!
These programs offer North American (primarily U.S.) communities the opportunity to assess and respond to climate-related risks that may be threatening their infrastructure, budgets and resident well-being while also joining a growing national peer learning network of climate planning communities.
Enrolled communities participate in a proven step by step process that includes mentoring, outside perspectives, fosters peer exchanges, inspires possibilities, and breaks a complicated and often overwhelming process into manageable pieces. This leading edge programming also positions communities to draw in new funding and economic resources in future years.
