About

The Climate Summit brings together communities to build resilience to climate change. Through a full day of panel discussions, expert-led workshops, interactive activities, and resource sharing, the summit advances climate solutions that make our communities stronger.

This year’s event will take place on Saturday, November 14th, 2026 at Hoffer Farm.

It will focus on weaving the elements of community resilience: energy independence, food security, ecological regeneration, carbon neutrality, and thriving communities. These five elements are guiding the early development of our Community Resilience Plan, a blueprint for collectively building local protections against the effects of climate change.

All are welcome! Whether you’re a seasoned environmental advocate or just beginning to learn about climate resilience, you are invited.
