As the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County’s (Metro) first-ever climate risk assessment and adaptation and resilience plan, the Climate Adaptation and Resilience Plan (CARP) is designed to catalyze additional planning action within Metro after the Climate Action Plan released in 2021. With support from over 50 Metro departments and community stakeholders, co-authors and FUSE Executive Fellow Kristin Stroup (2022–23) and Director of Sustainability and Resilience Officer Kendra Abkowitz delineated a roadmap with nearly 60 potential solutions, from setting even stronger building codes to promoting green roofs and ensuring affordable mental health services. As Abkowitz notes, the release of the CARP is just the first step. With a 10-year planning horizon and a commitment to annual updates based on public feedback and arising learning opportunities during the Plan’s implementation, the CARP positions Nashville to foster a climate-resilient community for generations.

REWORLDING: Adj. the act of creating a world that should have been prior to colonial disruption. (future) The Centre for Reworlding (C∞R) brings diverse creative expertise, knowledges and thought leadership to make a difference in community readiness in the climate crisis. We share and amplify methodologies, hold space for meaningful and inclusive dialogue, and foster courageous creativity, collaboration and action with communities: because our next generation needs us to. The Reworlders’ are a core group of bridge-builders and connectors with diverse and intersecting practices. We work across multiple disciplines and are connected through several key projects operating across climate, disaster risk reduction and resilience and arts and culture. Our growing body of critical work subverts conventional platforms for engagement in the climate emergency. The Centre for Reworlding combines decades of practice-led research and creative, collaborative expertise in art, culture and performance, strategy and impact producing, and climate emergency response and preparedness. Together we are developing a public pedagogy of responsive thinking and action for the health & well-being of future ancestors. We are in Vancouver with the support of Creative Australia, to explore a Pacific Rim Partnership to develop a critical path including a program of activities, that fosters relationship building and knowledge sharing between artists arts workers in the Pacific Rim with the intent of building creative resilience capacity, climate adaptation literacy, and ways of reorienting creative practice within climate emergency context. There are so many similarities between Victoria Australia and Vancouver BC - we have much to share and learn from each other.... We are so excited to be working with Sunshine Frere, Katia Tynan, @Vanessa Kwan on this. This project has the potential to lead to exciting and emergent types of multiplatform collaborative creative works by a diversity of artists in the Pacific Rim. #climateemergency #FirstNations #Decolonisation #disasterresilience
