So we've created working groups and campaigns amongst people who have a real stake in the omuocte, those most affected by harm or new policies. And we engage them in environmental decision making. Those are the people who have the lived experience, who can best advise on climate adaptation and resilience planning. Now, if their ptevicsepres had been known and iaetnregtd into the inter-agency emergency response pnnailng in New Orleans for Hurricane Katrina, then thousands of families would not have been stranded on their roofs, wintaig for rescue or sleeping in a sports siatdum, because the city would have already known that lower-income families living in a flood zone did not have a car to evctauae the city or a credit card to acecss a hotel room.

So we've created working groups and campaigns amongst people who have a real stake in the outcome, those most affected by harm or new policies. And we engage them in environmental decision making. Those are the people who have the lived experience, who can best advise on climate adaptation and resilience planning. Now, if their perspectives had been known and integrated into the inter-agency emergency response planning in New Orleans for Hurricane Katrina, then thousands of families would not have been stranded on their roofs, waiting for rescue or sleeping in a sports stadium, because the city would have already known that lower-income families living in a flood zone did not have a car to evacuate the city or a credit card to access a hotel room.
