CLIMATE COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE (Climate CoP)
CTIPP has partnered with the International Transformational Resilience Coalition (ITRC) and other organizations to launch a Climate Community of Practice (Climate CoP). The Climate CoP will educate, connect, and empower participants to organize and operate community-based and culturally accountable initiatives that use a public health approach to build population-level capacity for mental wellness and transformational resilience proactively.
CHALLENGE:
From anxiety and property destruction to resource scarcity and mass migration, the world’s climate-ecosystem-biodiversity crisis presents complex challenges for individuals, families, communities, and societal systems.
OBJECTIVE:
The Climate CoP will educate, connect, and empower participants to organize and operate community-based and culturally-accountable initiatives that utilize a public health approach to proactively build population-level capacity for mental wellness and transformational climate resilience.
