As many of the resources shared for this Learning Collaborative are applicable to the whole region rather than specific states, resources have been organized by the speakers who shared them.
The external resources on this page do not necessarily represent the views of any one organization, the Climate Collaborative, or the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, and have not been subjected to the review procedures of, nor are they a product of, the National Academies. We are sharing this curated list based on the expert guidance of Collaborative members to serve as resources.Ìý
Note: NAM intends to represent all 50 states and territories within the United States in thisÌýwebinar series.
