Fall Meeting 2022

December 12 - 16, 2022

To accelerate a just transition to a low-carbon and resilient world we need to collectively marshall creativity, initiative, and collaboration from diverse communities, governments, organizations, and individuals. Effectively, equitably, and rapidly addressing climate change requires building informed and mobilized communities and a diverse workforce with a strong grasp of a wide range of knowledge and skills. Education, training, empowerment, and communication with communities across the U.S, its territories, and Tribal nations already exist in some communities, however, these efforts are not strategically coordinated, adequately resourced, or networked to foster a just transition. In considering how to best improve socio-environmental capacity to address climate change, this union session will draw on ideas and examples highlighting knotworking and infrastructuring, which describe ways of organizing and supporting activity through the weaving of resources and practices across multiple interconnected networks of individuals and organizations to rapidly mobilize all of society climate actions.
