Building Resiliency Together: A Georgia Climate Digest Interview

Resilience in Georgia can mean many different things, from installing community microgrids that keep the lights on after a storm, upgrading infrastructure to withstand flooding, or preserving the fragile coastal wetlands that buffer us from severe storms. Resilience is about preparing our communities, protecting our ecosystems, and building systems that can withstand and recover from challenges.

That’s exactly what the upcoming Georgia Resiliency Conference is designed to spotlight. Hosted by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR), the event will bring together policymakers, business leaders, researchers, community advocates, and everyday citizens to learn from more than 100 Georgia-based projects already making our state stronger.

Recently, longtime climate justice advocate Eriqah Vincent sat down with Jennifer Kline, Coastal Hazards Specialist with Georgia DNR’s Coastal Resources Division, to talk about the importance of resilience and why the conference matters now more than ever.
