Adaptive and Resilient Communities Cohort
Tamarack Institute
Deadline: Rolling
The Adaptive and Resilient Communities Cohort (ARCC) is designed to catalyze community-level actions to advance local climate adaptation and resilience projects. The cohort will bring together 15 collaborative teams (i.e., collaborations between at least two partners) for a year-long journey of applied learning and action that includes communities of practice, tailored coaching, and access to the latest thinking, tools, and resources, all designed to help you overcome your barriers to action.
Through the ARCC journey, participating teams will dive deep into a local climate adaptation and resilience project to achieve at least one significant implementation milestone by the end of the 12 months. This progress will build a strong foundation and momentum for continued work beyond the cohort by exploring:
Implementation Barriers – how to understand, prioritize, and mitigate your local implementation challenges;
Community Assets – how to leverage what is strong and weave in local knowledges and leadership to overcome barriers to action;
Equitable Engagement – how to meaningfully engage those most impacted by climate change in implementing and evaluating this work;
Strong Partnerships – how to build, resource, and steward resilient, cross-sectoral collaborations throughout implementation;
Progress Evaluation – how to capture and learn from the process and outcome impacts that emerge during implementation.
