INVOLVED

Help spread climate education to increase resilience in a way that strengthens RRBC people and communities.

The RRBC region is defined not only by its infrastructure and environment, but by its people. One of the most diverse regions in all of New Jersey, it is home to an array of languages and backgrounds from across the world. Community engagement has been crucial to Resilient NJ’s implementation so far.

Importantly, we’re also working to spread the word about climate hazards and actions community members can take to increase resilience. We’ve conducted workshops at local YMCAs to share how flooding will affect RRBC residents, and published a series of informative videos and virtual public meetings.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

This project has the potential to impact thousands of people in underserved communities for generations to come. Therefore, incorporating the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion into project processes and outcomes is critical to the success of Resilient NJ Raritan River and Bay Communities. The program seeks input from all stakeholders, including those in underserved communities.
