Addressing climate change\, health inequities\, and disparities in access to nature will require transformational change in our policies and systems. We cannot have healthy people without healthy places\, and we cannot have healthy places without a thriving natural world. \nThriving Together: A Springboard for Equitable Recovery and Resilience in Communities Across America presents a unifying framework for action that 1) describes what it will take to transform our inequitable systems; 2) captures our shared values and commitment to equitable well-being; and 3) frames decisions within the context of a clear\, measurable goal: all people and places thriving\, no exceptions. \nThis interactive workshop will introduce the core components of the Thriving Together framework. Attendees will deepen their understanding of the framework through dialogue\, a practice that bridges difference and builds civic muscle. Attendees will leave the workshop with a set of tools and resources to begin to explore transformational change in their organizations\, communities\, or networks. \nExplore Thriving Together: A Springboard for Equitable Recovery and Resilience in Communities Across America: Read more \nCost: $45 general / $30 C&NN members (Not a member?
