What’s All This I Hear About Sustainability, Resilience, and Climate Change? Initiatives at the State-Level, National APA and in the Divisions

APA National is preparing to launch a specialized Certificate Maintenance (CM) credit which will focus on sustainability and resilience.

The Sustainable Communities and the Environment, Natural Resources, and Energy divisions have been working to explore local needs related to sustainability and develop guidance and materials that will be made available through KnowledgeBase. APA has recently released several related guide documents as well.

Although some information about APA initiatives has been made available at the chapter and local-planner levels, we believe more outreach and information would be beneficial. This session proposal is one method we are using to provide outreach. This session will begin with a presentation on current APA initiatives. We will also include a discussion of two state programs - one in Massachusetts and the other in Alaska.

Following the Q&A, we will conduct a virtual workshop with breakouts that focus on key sustainability topics. We will use SWOT-style analysis to breakdown available sustainability tools and where improvements are needed. Results will be made available following the conference.
