August 16, 2022 Noon to 1:00 p.m. CT
We know that we can't solve the inter-connected issues of climate change and inequity by using the same tools that created those problems. Precipitate is developing new tools, processes, and approaches centered in equity and collaboration with like-minded partners. Join us on August 16 at Noon to hear from Elizabeth Turner and Imani Mosher as they discuss their work on projects at various scales, from passive energy efficiency for affordable housing to work on the Bemidji State University Climate Action and Resilience Plan as well as the City of Minneapolis Climate Equity Plan. Their unique, people-centered approach shifts the way we engage and ultimately design a carbon neutral world.
