San Juan County is conducting a climate vulnerability assessment to better understand how and to what extent our community – including buildings, energy, transportation, water quality and resources – is vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.

We want to hear about your lived experiences with extreme weather events and how climate change is impacting our community. Your participation will also help prioritize the strategies San Juan County pursues to build our adaptive capacity to these impacts.

Join us virtually Tuesday, Nov. 19, from 5:30 p.m.-6:30 p.m. to learn about our work on a climate vulnerability assessment, initial findings, and share your experiences and input. This listening session is a part of our broader climate resilience planning effort including the development of Climate Element for the Comprehensive Plan and a Climate Action Plan for implementation.
