From community-based green energy hubs in cities\, to Living Seawalls\, there are so many ways that we are innovating to restore ecosystems\, and reconnect people with Nature. \nIn a series of in-person salons hosted in cities across the U.S.\, NationSwell Council leaders will convene to discuss our climate legacy — who we are\, how we will be remembered\, and what we can still do to make things better for future generations. In Washington\, D.C.\, we’ll pay special attention to how record-breaking heat waves\, rising sea levels\, and heavy flooding from the Potomac and the Anacostia stand to threaten the district in the coming years and present particular challenges for the city’s most marginalized and disadvantaged communities. \nJoin us for a wide-ranging conversation on the ways our actions have consequences\, the legacy we want to leave as leaders\, parents\, friends\, and global citizens\, and how the ways in which we show up as people will be mirrored in the natural world surrounding us for decades to come. \nNationSwell is happy to host this salon on World Oceans Day\, and during CHOW (Capitol Hill Ocean Week 2023)\, a conference that gathers leading voices to explore the ocean-climate connection and advance climate strategies.

The Supreme Court’s recent ruling against established equal protection under law not only effectively ended the use of affirmative action in college admissions\, but also paved the way for a host of new legal challenges to programs aimed at bolstering diversity.  And with the likelihood of new stakeholder pressures and pivotal moments arising as the 2024 U.S. presidential campaign cycle heats up\, the stage is set for a challenging period for diversity\, equity\, and inclusion work more broadly.  \nThis sea change threatens to undermine decades of work to ensure that our schools\, workplaces\, and institutions are more equitable\, and has the potential to change the landscape of DEIB work for decades to come. But within these headwinds is also a meaningful opportunity — a chance for leaders to take stock of and adapt to new challenges\, consider valid criticisms\, and meet the moment.  \nTogether\, we will isolate the most important and solvable challenges\, surface our biggest learnings and recommendations\, and think aloud in draft mode about what we can do to prepare for the road ahead. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n NationSwell’s events and experiences are designed to bring together diverse\, purpose-driven leaders and organizations for learning\, inspiration\, relationship-building\, and societal impact.
