You’ve heard “crisis=opportunity,” but exactly who is that opportunity for? In this workshop we’ll get an exclusive sneak peak at interactive tools from Bay Localize’s forthcoming second edition of the Community Resilience Toolkit. We explore how the climate and energy crisis is impacting the local economy, and how to create businesses and jobs that make your community ecologically resilient. The key is following the money.
