Those in community development finance must address the impacts of climate change in order to meet impact goals for economic opportunity and growth."

https://lnkd.in/erjAk3VN I learned about the NAM Climate Communities Network (CCN) today. The CCN brings together community leaders (“Members”) who work for community-based organizations in U.S. communities that are disproportionately impacted by climate change and climate-related health inequities. The CCN will elevate community expertise, experience, and efforts to address the structural drivers of climate-related health inequities in Member communities. Alongside CCN Strategic Partners, who will be invited representatives from government, philanthropy, academia, and industry, CCN Members will influence and work across the Climate Grand Challenge to catalyze innovation, inform policy, drive funding, and co-design solutions. Thanks to the UPR professors Jenniffer Abreu and Maria del Carmen Zorrilla, who shared this resource and are collaborating with this initiative.

In response to the climate crisis, the American Red Cross is enhancing its support for those who need it most and its capacity to respond to the continuous pace of climate disasters.
