The MML Review March-April 2022

Ready to Fund Resilience The American Society of Adaptation Professionals (ASAP) is partnering with Climate Resilience Consulting to help U.S. communities design climate resilience projects that are ready to receive funding and finance. They are moving beyond lists of funding resources and market mechanisms to get more projects implemented and increase the climate resilience of communities across the U.S. If you’re interested, check out ASAP's Ready-to-Fund Resilience Guidebook and Training. Communities across Michigan have been making significant strides in advancing sustainability over the last decade. And we have learned a lot about adaptation and resilience during the

COVID-19 pandemic. Now we need to seize this moment of additional federal resources and carry those lessons into our ongoing and future community development work! The League is committed to helping our members cut through any confusion and help you utilize all these new resources in ways that truly help your communities—so reach out through our ServeMICity or Michigan Green Communities program for help. Shanna Draheim is the director of policy research labs for the League. You may contact her at 517.908.0307 or sdraheim@mml.org.
