Building Resilient Communities: A Multi-Sector Approach to Navigating Climate-Driven Disasters

Build Healthy Places Network’s Virtual Summit

The Challenge is Urgent. The Solution is Collaborative.

High heat, extreme weather, and rising sea levels are increasing, leading to catastrophic impacts on our community health and well-being. These climate-driven disasters disproportionately impact historically disinvested communities, primarily communities of color. Building resilience—from extreme heat and floods to food insecurity and displacement—requires coordinated, multisector investment and community-led leadership.

Join Build Healthy Places Network for a virtual summit focused on advancing equitable, multisector strategies that strengthen long-term community resilience.

• Discover: How multi-sector partnerships—led by community voice—are mobilizing effective, equitable climate action and building long-term resilience.
• Hear From: Local and national leaders across Community Development, Health, Philanthropy, and Government working together to strengthen community resilience.
• Explore: Tangible, real-world examples of strategies and current interventions that are helping communities prepare for, respond to, and recover from climate-driven disasters.

Featured Speaker: Dr. Manuel Pastor

We are honored to feature a critical opening conversation with Dr. Manuel Pastor (Director of the Equity Research Institute at USC). A leading voice on climate change and equitable solutions, Dr. Pastor will challenge leaders to move beyond their silos and forge the community-led partnerships required for effective change.
