The City of Olympia is recruiting up to 15 community members for its Community Project Team, which will provide insights and perspectives on the potential impacts of climate change in Olympia.<\/p>\n

The Community Project Team will support the City\u2019s climate risk and vulnerability assessment (CRVA). Arising through a partnership with ICLEI (Local Governments for Sustainability), the CRVA assesses the ways in which the community is susceptible to the impacts of climate change. The assessment includes three steps. First, exposure to hazards caused or made worse by climate change will be identified and assessed. Second, the potential impacts on populations, systems, assets or services that are vulnerable to those hazards will be examined. And third, the various climate-related risks will be ranked according to their seriousness.<\/p>\n

Members of the Community Project Team will participate in a series of six meetings and workshops, which will occur from April through July of 2023, to learn about anticipated future climate conditions and assess potential impacts of current and future climate hazards. As part of their work, team members will share personal perspectives and insights on potential impacts of future climate conditions.<\/p>\n

No previous climate knowledge or experience is required. Priority will be given to applicants who represent diverse community perspectives. The team may include:<\/p>\n
