Our work is centered around three key aspects of resilience: Strategy, Implementation, and Thought Leadership. See how we can help you increase resilience.

Climate Resilience Consulting is committed to combatting climate change impacts and protecting human health and wellbeing in a way that centers climate, racial, rural and gender equity. We recognize that historically disadvantaged, underserved, and underrepresented peoples—especially Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC)—are most affected by climate change impacts due to systemic inequities built into current planning, policymaking and finance institutions and practices. Through our work in climate resilience strategy, implementation and thought leadership, Climate Resilience Consulting seeks to recognize and reverse structural underpinnings of inequities both in our own initiatives as well as those of our clients.
