Work to prepare Central Indiana communities to be more resilient in the face of climate change is ongoing. 

A recent gathering to share ideas around climate adaptation brought more community groups into the discussion of environmental sustainability and resilience.  The Climate Adaptation Summit was hosted by the American Red Cross and Indianapolis’ Office of Sustainability at Martin University on the city’s east side.

Indianapolis’ Office of Sustainability Director Morgan Mickelson said the city’s first actionable plan — the Thrive Plan — hinges on community involvement. 

“Each community knows what they need, they just might need some resources to help them get there,” Mickelson said.
