Mission & Scope:
The CACS Climate Change Resilience Working Group will provide a comprehensive review of ongoing, past, and future efforts to address campus impacts of climate change. The working group will provide resources to inform an update to the campus vulnerability assessment and resilience planning in the Climate Action Plan (CAP) in 2023 that uphold the values of diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ). Through the working group, CACS hopes to develop planning and frameworks for resiliency, with emphasis on cross-department collaboration.
