What Can We Do With This Map Data? Turning Climate Data into Community Projects

This interactive session invites participants to turn climate map insights into practical, community-driven projects. Using the RUSH Initiative maps, which bring together data on ecosystem and community health to support climate action, we will explore real-world use cases, generate project ideas, and collaborate to design actionable initiatives. Through a fast-paced, design sprint-style process, participants will move from inspiration to tangible concepts that could be tested and implemented locally. Participants will take away:

• A clear understanding of how map data can inform real-world climate action.
• Experience collaborating across disciplines to design community initiatives.
• A practical action project idea.
