Addressing Extreme Heat through Faithful Community Resilience
March 27 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm
As extreme heat intensifies across the Carolinas, communities face rising energy costs, disproportionate health risks, and increasing pressure on local infrastructure. Faith-based organizations have long played a vital role in responding to crises in our region, providing critical support and advocating for systemic change. They are uniquely positioned to partner with others on advancing communities’ heat resilience.
Join us for a public conversation exploring the intersection of faith, energy justice, and climate resilience. Hosted by Ashley Ward of Duke University’s Heat Policy Innovation Hub, this conversation will feature Pastor Neil Bernard (New Wine Christian Fellowship), Angella Dunston (Warren County Environmental Action Team), and Reverend Leo Woodberry (Kingdom Living Temple and New Alpha Community Development).
