About Resilient Roots

Resilient Roots: Climate Leaders Network is a climate education program led by Greenbelt Alliance and Sustainable Solano to equip a pilot cohort of Suisun City and Fairfield residents with the inspiration and resources to champion climate action in their own communities. 

Throughout the 10-month course, beginning in September 2024, participants are engaging in skill-building workshops and field trips throughout the region. Learn more about the sessions. The curriculum hones local expertise to develop an understanding of interconnected climate challenges, planning and policy development skills, and the tools to lead local action and grow their climate leadership in their own communities!
