Climate Adaptation Forum

With The Institute of Utopian Hospitality

Participate in a vital discussion addressing New Orleans residents' urgent challenges due to the ecological crisis, led by the Institute of Utopian Hospitality (IUH).

This forum will explore the systemic impacts of climate-related threats, including the following:

• Deteriorating infrastructure
• Food, energy, and water insecurity
• The urban heat island effect
• Natural disasters
• Recurring drought
• Saltwater intrusion

Grounded in the IUH's expertise in adaptive regeneration and community resilience, the forum will highlight a community-based approach to climate adaptation. The IUH empowers individuals, particularly women, by providing practical skills and knowledge in areas like regenerative agriculture and sustainable practices. This approach, grounded in principles of collaboration, community engagement, and knowledge sharing, fosters personal and community transformation. The forum will identify priority issues for change in our community and the interventions we can make to ensure a more sustainable future for our children and grandchildren. It will also discuss the IUH's work in building capacity in the staffing needed to better manage and track funding received, to assist with collecting and analyzing data, and documenting their work.
