10: A Guide for Advancing Climate Equity Through Place-Based Collaboration

This guide is a comprehensive resource by Tamarack’s Community Climate Transitions (CCT) network that captures what it takes to address the climate crisis in a collaborative way that ensures no one is left behind.

The guide brings together two principles of CCT’s work with 70+ members since 2021: climate action is incomplete without addressing the inequities of the climate crisis in our communities, and place-based partnerships are a natural fit for advancing climate equity.
Whether you are a community leader, a resident, a small business owner, or a staff member or councillor in your local government, this guide can help you begin to make sense of the relationships to build, steps to take, and lenses to consider.

It includes:

  • questions to reflect upon to assess how ready you are to advance climate equity through place-based collaboration in your community;
  • ideas for how to take local climate action in an equitable, collaborative way;
  • stories of communities across Turtle Island that serve as inspiration for your work;
  • resources that deepen and help apply your knowledge; and
  • ways to get started on advancing climate equity.

We hope that this guide provides direction, inspiration, and motivation, no matter where you are in your climate action journey. Embedding equity into this work not only addresses those most impacted by the climate crisis, but creates more just, resilient, and healthy communities for all.
