Climate Leadership Academy (CLA) on adaptive water resource management and infrastructure

The third national Climate Leadership Academy (CLA) on adaptation & resilience will take a closer look at climate-related risks to water infrastructure and explore how new, sustainable business models are improving the resilience of communities' water resources, from supply to waste water.

The Institute for Sustainable Communities (ISC) invites teams of five senior officials and/or key stakeholders from up to 12 North American cities and metropolitan regions to participate in the third national convening of the CLA on adaptation & resilience – a unique training and peer-learning opportunity, focused on improving, expanding and accelerating cities’ efforts to better assess, prioritize and manage the local risks of climate change.

This workshop is part of ISC’s broader Sustainable Communities Leadership Academy (SCLA), a program that builds the capacity of communities – cities, towns, counties, metropolitan regions and rural areas – to advance, accelerate and scale-up local solutions to the global challenges of climate protection and sustainable development.
