Resources & Next Steps from Climate Disaster Response Webinar Session Two
Thank you so much for signing up for the “Mobilizing for Action,” the second workshop in our series on “Climate Resilience through Disaster Response & Community Care”. Whether you were able to attend in real-time or plan to watch the recording later, we are grateful for your commitment to building communities of care in the face of climate disasters.
Next steps:
Make sure you RSVP for the third and final workshop in this series: Community Conversations on November 15. We encourage you to invite 1 or 2 more people from your congregation to attend, so we can continue to grow our community of support!
Check out the Climate Disaster Response for UUs Guide. This guide is chock full of tools and resources to help individuals and congregations to Assess Climate Impacts and Mobilize for Action. Every community is different, and climate impacts will vary at the hyper-local level. Some neighborhoods may be devastated by a hurricane while others experience only minor impacts. Adequate preparation and response for climate disasters must center the lived experiences and impacts of climate disasters on those most at risk. We’ve paired tools for each section to help you think through every step of the process.
Join the conversation! If you are looking for another place to connect with others working on climate justice, join us on the Side With Love Slack Channel. You can join at this link: http://bit.ly/SideWithLoveSlack. Check out the #climate-justice-general or #climate-justice-green-sanctuary channels to find your people!
Tell us what you’re doing and what you need! We’d love to hear how your congregation is preparing for climate disasters and how we can help! Please email RMyslivy@UUA.org and let us know!

We invite you to share this recording and these resources with others in your congregation as you explore how to incorporate what was discussed into your own efforts to support your community through any experiences of climate disaster. Consider consulting with key congregational leadership to complete your Congregational Asset Map, or begin to identify who in your broader community has the most direct knowledge and experience of the climate threats in your area.
If you have any other questions or ideas for how we can support your organizing for climate justice in the face of climate disasters, please email us at Environment@UUA.org. We want to hear from you about what kind of gatherings, workshops, or coaching will help you live your UU values to the fullest in community
We look forward to seeing you again on November 15!
