Climate change represents the largest threat to our modern way of life and the time for transformative action is now. With this in mind, Sustainability at Centennial and Solv. Sector Sessions (SX3) created “The Resilient Community: Adapting to a Changing Climate” virtual event series. The series, which took place February 23-25, 2021, included 5 sessions and discussed how we can become resilient to the impacts of climate change through the lens of business, healthcare, infrastructure and food security.
Throughout the three days, over 185 participants joined to listen and engage with an amazing line-up of experts.
In addition to our sessions we also curated a resource guide which we invite you to explore. This guide highlights additional information on ways to reduce your environmental footprint and adapt to a changing environment. We hope you find it useful in the decisions you make in your day-to-day lives!
