Climate Fresk Facilitation for NOACA
As a trained Climate Fresk facilitator, Adenium (formerly ‘Citadel Impact Consulting’) supported NOACA through 8 Climate Fresk workshops in Cuyahoga, Lake, and Geauga counties. These workshops were additionally presented with information about NOACA’s regional climate action planning process to further enhance discussion around local and regional action, and participants were encouraged to complete NOACA feedback surveys to inform the planning process. Across the eight sessions, participants reported their knowledge of climate science increased by 25%, their knowledge of solutions (adaptive and mitigative) by 24%, and their motivation to action (re: activation) by 16%.
