Plan to participate in the fifth statewide conference on resiliency!
Conference registration is open now.
Resilient Virginia announces its 2023 Conference, focused on Economic Opportunities for Community Resilience. The Conference will take place August 1-2 at the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business in Charlottesville. UVA's Environmental Institute is a proud Visionary Sponsor.
The conference will highlight how businesses and communities can work together to:
- Grow investments that support a low-carbon economy;
- Provide examples from urban and rural communities on approaches to resiliency that include climate risk assessments that lead to economic, health, and equity considerations; and
- Increase resilience in the face of disruption from extreme weather disasters and on-going climate concerns that impact community health and vitality.
The conference will also address the significant catalyst, provided by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), that is bringing business and workforce development to communities while providing extensive investments in the resilience of infrastructure and clean energy systems.
