Civics Workshop: Omaha's Climate Action Plan
2022-10-05 17:30 | One Omaha, 3902 Davenport St., Omaha, NE, 68131, United States
Our city has begun to experience the effects of climate change, including hotter and drier summers, wetter and colder winters, and dangerous thunderstorms producing high winds, large hail, flash flooding, and tornadoes.
In November 2021, Omaha city officials announced plans for a Climate Action Plan (CAP), which would lay out a blueprint to reduce climate change effects and decrease greenhouse gas emissions.
As the city moves forward with planning, now is the perfect time to get familiar with climate action plans.
In this interactive panel discussion, you will learn:

What a climate action plan is and what each aspect of a CAP entails
The impact a climate action plan can have on communities and neighborhoods
How the community will be involved in the process of creating a climate action plan for Omaha

This year’s NLA focuses on the inner suburbs. The inner suburbs, sometimes referred to as first-ring suburbs, are the older communities of metropolitan areas that have experienced urban sprawl. In Omaha, this area extends from about I-680 to 156th Street, and from Fort Street to Harrison Street.
Attendees will learn leadership skills including:

The difference between lone wolf organizing and community organizing
How to use asset-based community development
How to create change in your neighborhood and more!
