Salazar Center announces Thriving Cities Challenge finalists, expanded funding support 09 Jun, 2021
The Thriving Cities Challenge was created to fund innovative nature-based solutions that improve the equity, health and resilience of urban communities in North America.
Fifteen teams from across North America have been selected as finalists for the Thriving Cities Challenge, an incentive prize launched by Colorado State University’s Salazar Center for North American Conservation in Fall 2020. Up to five teams will be chosen as winners following a virtual pitch event in September 2021 as part of the Center’s third annual symposium.
“We’re excited to have such a strong group of finalists focused on innovative work in cities all over North America,” said Salazar Center Director Beth Conover. “We look forward to building a community of interest focused on urban climate resilience, green space and racial equity.”
Salazar Center seeks proposals to advance climate resilience, racial equity 18 Feb, 2021
Colorado State University’s Salazar Center for North American Conservation is currently accepting applications for its second-annual incentive prize competition: the Thriving Cities Challenge, the first of its kind to be offered by the center.
“Our cities are facing the effects of climate change and confronting policies that often leave communities of color more vulnerable to the heat, rising seas and extreme weather climate change brings,” said Salazar Center Director Beth Conover. “But there is hope. Nature-based solutions can not only make communities more resilient to these changes, they can offer myriad additional benefits and improve the collective health of our cities and their residents.”
