A pair of consultants have developed an initiative to help associations share insights and strategize around climate change.
The Association Climate Action Coalition was informally launched earlier this year by Elizabeth Weaver Engel, MA, CAE, and Shelly Alcorn. The effort follows the publication last year of a white paper the two co-wrote, The Time Is Now: Resilience and Adaptation and the Anthropocene Climate Disruption, which discussed the challenges associations face due to climate change, from meetings to office space and more. (Disclosure: I was a compensated copy editor for the publication.)
The coalition, as with the white paper, emphasizes the unique role associations can play in responding to climate change, both in terms of their internal actions and how they leverage the industries they represent.
