Join Cate Mingoya-LaFortune, Chief Officer of Climate Resilience and Land Use at Groundwork USA, as she shares invaluable insights into making lasting and equitable improvements to make communities climate resilient. Cate’s new book Climate Action for Busy People gives tools to individuals or small groups seeking a roadmap for boosting climate preparedness and moving the needle towards environmental justice. 

How do we, individually, know where to begin if we want to make an impact on the climate crisis? Climate Action for Busy People is a great place to start. Cate Mingoya-LaFortune’s new book (out June 18, 2024, by Island Press) offers a hopeful and realistic roadmap for individuals and groups who want to boost climate preparedness and move the needle towards environmental justice. 

Drawing from her professional and personal success in climate adaptation and community organizing, Cate offers readers ways to scale up their actions, from identifying climate solutions that an individual or small group can pull off in a single afternoon , like tree plantings or de-paving parties, to advocating for change at the municipal level through coalition-building and data collection. People of all ages and skill levels will feel empowered to create climate safe neighborhoods.
