How can faith-based communities and spiritual organizations serve as resilience hubs for individuals and communities that are dealing with the impacts of extreme weather and climate change? This session will highlight recent success stories, good practices, and opportunities for the Weather, Water, and Climate Enterprise to partner with faith-based and spiritual organizations in an effort to address challenges and capture opportunities related to climate change. The benefits of working together are limitless. Faith/spiritual-based organizations and leaders are trusted, influential, and everywhere.
