Building a thriving, resilient San Antonio.
Across San Antonio, we see the effects of a changing climate combined with historic inequities impacting our neighbors — in moments of extreme weather and in the everyday. We have an opportunity to increase our resilience to weather the storms of life, together.
Climate Ready Neighborhoods is a network of community partners in San Antonio linking climate-resilience information, trainings, resources, and funding through a network of trusted community groups and spaces called Neighborhood PODs.
Climate Ready Neighborhoods is a project of The Impact Guild and The Department of Resiliency and Sustainability.
OUR MISSION
With equitable access for all, Climate Ready Neighborhoods connects Neighborhood PODs through Information, Resources and Partnership to increase climate resilience before, during and after the storms of life.
How to get involved
A yearlong roadmap that turns everyday actions into lasting neighborhood resilience.
Join a network of neighbors, partners, and organizations growing resilience together.
