Climate Resiliency Skills Workshop

Join us to learn how we can build the muscle of climate resilience before disaster happens so we can be prepared. Learn daily steps you can take for climate action. Registration required.

Our world is getting increasingly complex. Fires have increased 1000% over the last 5 years becoming larger, more frequent and more widespread. Climate change is increasing the intensity of extreme weather across the globe including hail, damaging winds, and flash floods. When faced with this new reality, you can feel like the scale of the problem is insurmountable.

This event is being coordinated to raise awareness for the British Columbia Library Association Climate Committee's Climate Action Week ( Nov 1 - Nov 7, 2025).

Learn what your brain and nervous system need to build your “rally” muscle. It is important to build the muscle of climate resilience before disaster happens so that we can be cognitively prepared. Discover daily actionable steps you can take to get unstuck and turn your climate despair into climate action.

Workshop topics include:

• Individual & collective resiliency skills
• Individual & community efficacy
• Climate wayfinding
• Disaster planning
• Nature therapy

Registration is highly recommended.
