From Grant to Groundwork: Building Climate Resilience in Kings County
In this episode, we’re joined by Pamela Martinez, Community Energy Resilience Project Manager at The Climate Center, to discuss the vital role of funding in addressing climate resilience. Pamela helped guide KPFP through the grant application process for The Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation’s (LCI) Extreme Heat and Community Resilience Program (EHCRP), and we’re thrilled to share that our application was approved!
Pamela explains why funding opportunities like the EHCRP are critical for communities, particularly in California, as they work to combat extreme heat and build long-term resilience. She also discusses how rural communities like Kings County can leverage such grants to improve public health, infrastructure, and local economies.
If you’re part of a community looking to pursue climate resilience initiatives, Pamela offers practical advice on navigating the grant application process and how The Climate Center partners with local organizations to make a real impact.
Tune in for an insightful conversation on how we can all play a part in building a more climate-resilient future.
