Sufficient funding and capacity are two of the biggest hurdles — and catalysts — when it comes to acting on climate change. Communities across the country, including Tribes, often face funding and capacity constraints that limit how quickly and the scale at which they can implement priority climate projects. In our final episode of the season, WTGHA Chairwoman Cheryl Andrews-Maltais; Tribal Elder and Council member Kristina Hook; and Acting Chief of Staff share how the Tribe is funded and their experiences navigating the world of climate funding, financing, and investment.

Planning for community redevelopment amidst a changing climate and intensifying storm events poses significant challenges. Many municipalities have turned to green infrastructure as a way to incorporate natural infiltration processes into their plans for development, lessening the impacts of stormwater quantity and quality on their community. Beyond the immediate benefits of improving stormwater management, green infrastructure also provides an array of co-benefits related to public health, recreation, cost-effectiveness, and economic growth. In this episode, we hear from Lancaster City, PA and Provincetown, MA — two municipalities that have employed green infrastructure best management practices (BMPs) into their stormwater management schemes and have seen real returns for the livelihoods of their communities.

Welcome to the The Leadership Exchange Podcast, presented by EPA Region 1's Southeast New England (SNEP) Network!
Join us Fall/Winter 2020-21 as we welcome the first community selected to participate in the SNEP Network Climate Leadership Exchange: the Town of Wareham, MA. Through the Exchange, The Network will bring together leaders from around the country to engage with Wareham as the Town plans for future redevelopment in Downtown Wareham Village. Our conversations will incorporate elements of climate resilience, stormwater management, green infrastructure, innovative financing, and smart growth as we discuss Wareham's goals for waterfront redevelopment.
While the Exchange itself will occur over the course of our Fall/Winter webinar series (the first Wednesday of each month from Oct. 2020 to Jan. 2021), each webinar is paired with an accompanying podcast episode where we take a deeper look at the communities joining us for the webinars.
