The Current Webinar: Equity and Green Infrastructure

Online

Join the North Central Region Water Network for the next edition of The Current.

Inclusion and Green Infrastructure
August 12, 2020, 2 PM CT

Building social equity and environmental justice into the conversation around green infrastructure (GI) is an opportunity to transform communities by integrating economic, environmental, and social goals. Green infrastructure – such as parks, green roofs, and rain gardens – has the potential not only to meet community stormwater management needs but to address other inequitable burdens exasperated by climate change, such as pollution and lack of access to green space. Join us for the next edition of The Current, where we’ll dive into a new North Central Region Water Network report, led by the University of Illinois, with insights for communities and extension professionals seeking to implement GI programs that incorporate equity and GI goals.

Featured Speakers:

  • Carla Walker, Founder/CEO, think BIG Strategies, LLC: “An Equity Lens on Green Infrastructure
  • Tony Heath, P.E., Civil and Environmental Engineer, and Urban Planner, Fishbeck, Inc.: “Lessons Learned from Equitable Green infrastructure Listening Sessions
  • Yordanose Solomone, Director of Equitable Engagement, Metro Blooms: “Actualizing Equity in Green Infrastructure

FAQs for Learn Calendar Users:

Will a recording be available?

That is entirely up to the host of this webinar/online event. If this is an eXtension Foundation hosted event - we will update this calendar listing with a link to the recording usually within 48 hours. Keep in mind, many of the offerings found here in Connect Extension are brought to you by your colleagues across the system. While we encourage them to update their listings with recordings, it is entirely up to them. 

How do I know if it is an eXtension-hosted event?

eXtension posts publicly our events to two calendars - the eXtension Foundation Member Calendar and the Opportunities for Cooperative Extension Calendar.  All other events coming from across Cooperative Extension are posted to the Learn Calendar or to one of the regional calendars. All calendars populate to the same main calendar on Connect Extension. To tell the difference between what events are posted to what calendars easily, you'll see the name of the calendar posted above the title of the event if you scroll to the top. 

What if I have trouble accessing this webinar?

Please contact the author of this calendar event. The individual that posted this event will have their username automatically listed at the bottom of the body of their post, right above the social media buttons. When you hover over that name, you are able to send them a private message.
