Rural climate dialogue webinar archive + resources

Last week, the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP) hosted a webinar Rural Climate Dialogue: Local Approaches to Climate Preparedness and Resilience. This informative session covered not only climate change issues and how they relate to rural communities, but also a very useful dialogue process using citizen juries, which could be applied to a wide variety of issues.

Here is an archive from the webinar, as well as several follow-up resources.
