The Climate Ready Communities Series

Webinar: Mapping Social Vulnerability for Climate Action Planning

As we see the rise of climate change impacts, extreme weather events such as urban heat islands are disproportionately experienced by communities living in socially vulnerable areas. Climate equity is the goal of recognizing and addressing unequal burdens of climate change, while ensuring that the benefits of climate protection efforts are equally shared1. Tools such as social vulnerability mapping are essential to recognizing and addressing these inequities to create effective climate adaptation strategies.

Join us for this presentation where we will explore how municipalities can use social vulnerability and equity mapping to inform climate action strategies that prioritize the needs of equity-deserving communities.

This session will review what social vulnerability means in the context of climate adaptation, learn about key equity indicators for assessing climate risk in communities and gain insights into how municipalities can use social vulnerability mapping for decision-making.
