Facilitated by Veronica Crane-Lindsey and Cassie Whiteside

In the spirit of the Climate Café® begun in 2015 in rural Scotland, Veronica and Cassie will provide an informal, inclusive space for people to get together to talk and act on climate change. Everyone is welcome to join the conversation, share ideas, learn what others are doing and get involved.

Veronica and Cassie recently served as “Engagement Agents” with the City of Asheville Sustainability Office’s Elevate AVL initiative. Engagement Agents connected with their communities to gain insights into current climate awareness, priorities for action, questions and concerns.  The information and ideas gathered will inform the Elevate AVL climate resource guide and future programming in collaboration with the City of Asheville.
