The Extension Foundation Impact Collaborative Summit starts next week and anyone from member institutions is invited to attend the keynote sessions and a special panel by the USDA Climate Hub and NOAA CAP/RISA! The 2023 Summit will have a special focus on Climate Resilience in partnership with the Extension Committee on Organization and Policy’s (ECOP) Climate Program Action Team. The purpose is to catalyze Cooperative Extension’s awareness and capacity to implement programming that will increase climate resilience in the communities Extension serves.
Participants in the Summit from Extension Foundation member institutions and special guests will:
- Identify a connection between the work they do and climate resiliency.
- Increase awareness of climate resiliency work being done by Extension colleagues nationally and what resources and supports are available.
- Receive assistance for projects and programs that are ready to help communities receive and utilize federal funds.
- Gain knowledge to improve equity in the impacts of climate resiliency and the benefits of addressing climate resiliency.
