Join your fellow framers in this interactive session to kick off NNOCCI week! You'll meet other network members from around the country, receive a welcome from NNOCCI's leadership, and learn about network happenings and how to get involved!

Join us for an uplifting hour during NNOCCI week as fellow members, recently trained and experienced alike, share their climate stories from around the country. We’ll screen climate stories shared by practitioners in the field and then break out into groups to discuss and provide glows and grows. Come be inspired by your fellow framers stories!

Join us as we discuss the first year of our Accelerating Climate Ambitions grant work funded by the US Embassy of Canada! We will discuss our goals for this first-of-its-kind Canadian-focused course, including curriculum development, insights from participant surveys, and plans for the next year.

Join a panel of young climate leaders to hear what sparked their passion in the climate movement and how they got involved. We’ll share strategies and brainstorm possibilities for how we and our organizations might better engage young people in climate work.

In this interactive, 90-minute session, we will explore ways to bring genuine, energizing lightness to the heavy topic of climate change. We will focus on zooming in and out of a situation, as well as using every day experiences, to illuminate key dynamics of important issues. And we will belly laugh.
The session is led by Belina Raffy, creator of the climate comedy course Sustainable Stand Up. The Sustainable Stand Up course has been running for over 9 years online and in 10 countries. Past alumni include a NASA climate scientist, several humanitarian workers, environmental phd students, CSR consultants, two sustainable transport experts, and many more.

Founded during the Reconstruction era in the late 1860s, Louisiana’s Freedpeople’s communities have been sites of collective resilience and inclusive development for a century and a half. Collective resources like benevolent associations, schools, and churches were community infrastructures for surviving and thriving amidst waves of post-Reconstruction racial exclusion.
These institutions notably gave rise to the grassroots environmental justice movement in the mid to late twentieth century.
Today, residents in these communities draw on these institutions and cultural traditions to articulate a vision of inclusive resilience planning for protection in the present and future.
