The Opportunity
The Thriving Earth Exchange® (TEX) has formally partnered with 100 Resilient Cities, pioneered by the Rockefeller Foundation, to bring the scientific expertise of AGU members to resilience challenges being faced across the globe.
The first step in building a collaborative and partner-based relationship is the Strategic Planning workshop, a collaborative, problem-solving workshop aiming to kickstart the process of tackling some of the most pressing resilience issues being faced by the city.
