In-Person Citywide Climate Resilience Plan Community Workshop
How is extreme weather affecting your daily life? What does your neighborhood need to be better prepared?
TTF Watershed Partnership is proud to host a community workshop in collaboration with the City of Philadelphia’s Office of Sustainability. Together, we’ve helped design a workshop that is specific to our neighborhood, grounded in local experiences, and centered on community voices.
This workshop will provide direct input to Philadelphia’s Citywide Climate Resilience Plan, which is focused on developing strategies at different scales – citywide and neighborhood-level solutions – to prepare for extreme heat, flooding, storms, power outages, and other climate impacts.
Why does this matter?
Climate change is already impacting our homes, health, and daily lives—but those impacts don’t look the same in every neighborhood. Decisions about where resources go, what gets built, and how communities are supported are being made now.
This workshop is a chance to:
- Make sure City decision-makers understand what residents are actually experiencing
- Ensure climate investments protect the places, relationships, and resources our community values
- Lift up solutions that already exist locally, rather than starting from scratch
- Help shape priorities so future funding and programs reflect real neighborhood needs
Your participation helps move climate planning from ideas to people-centered solutions.
Why attend?
- Share your lived experience with extreme weather
- Help identify neighborhood strengths, challenges, and priorities
- Lift up what’s already working, and where support is most needed
- Contribute directly to solutions that will inform City decision-making
- Connect with neighbors around shared values and ideas
As a thank-you for your time, in-person participants will receive a $50 stipend and a free meal.
What to expect
This is a welcoming, interactive session. Participants will:
- Reflect on what they love about their community and what gives them hope
- Share how extreme weather has affected their homes, health, and daily lives
- Identify what helps people prepare for and recover from climate events
- Name barriers that make preparedness and recovery harder
- Prioritize solutions that would make the biggest difference locally
No technical or policy background is needed, just your perspective.
Your voice matters. Join us to help ensure Philly’s climate plan reflects the real needs, strengths, and priorities of our neighborhood.
