Our Story

Launched in 2017, after the development of the Community-Driven Climate Resilience Planning  (CDCRP) Framework, the  National Association of Climate Resilience Planners (NACRP) is a multi-stakeholder, peer-learning resource, and referral network, comprised of community organizers, community-based organizations, nonprofits, and partners that fosters effective, place-based climate resilience planning and implementation. We actively cultivate a community of practice around the CDCRP Framework on a national scale.

The NACRP is dedicated to advancing the practice of community-driven planning through: 1) continued development and dissemination of the Community-Driven Climate Resilience Planning Framework, 2) endorsements to aligned organizing and political advocacy platforms and calls to action, 3) sharing on-the-ground experience and people’s plans, tools, resources, and trainings, 4) regular peer-to-peer learning and in-person gatherings, and 5) a certification program to build facilitative leadership for community-driven planning.

NACRP is a program of People’s Climate Innovation Center. Climate Innovation partners with Facilitating Power on the VPS Workshop Series and Facilitator Certification Program.
