CPA Small Branches Workshop: Legislative Leadership for Environmental Resilience in Small Jurisdictions
Workshop Overview
CPA Small Branches Workshop on Legislative Leadership for Environmental Resilience in Small Jurisdictions
Dates: 23 to 25 July 2024
Location: Hawaii, USA
The CPA Small Branches network is pleased to announce that we will be convening the CPA Small Branches Workshop on Legislative Leadership for Environmental Resilience in Small Jurisdictions in Hawaii, USA.
Parliamentarians and parliamentary staff will be able to attend the workshop on legislative leadership to develop environmental resilience organised by the CPA Small Branches network together with the kind support and assistance of the East-West Center and the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory ASU.
Parliamentarians play a multifaceted role in representing small jurisdictions through engagement with local communities as representatives, crafting laws as legislators, and in holding governments accountable to commitments as scrutineers. It is therefore essential that they are equipped with the requisite knowledge and skills to devise effective environmental resilience strategies and foster connections with the wider policy and research community.
- This Workshop will develop and build upon those conversations which took place during the CPA Small Branches Workshop on Disaster Risk Reduction from 24 to 26 May 2023 in partnership with Institute for Hazard, Risk and Resilience at Durham University. You can also download the workshop report - please click here.
- Read the CPA blog: Realities of disaster resilience: stories from the Commonwealth - which tells three stories about disasters in Commonwealth jurisdictions: the 2022 Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai volcanic eruption and tsunami (Tonga), the 2004 Hurricane Ivan (Cayman Islands) and the COVID-19 pandemic (Isle of Man).
