Guidance on climate action and resilience planning for neighbourhood house networks

In a community emergency, neighbourhood houses are often the first to respond, and they play an essential role in rebuilding communities. Importantly, they also take a preventative approach, building the resilience of communities by addressing the underlying drivers of vulnerability in their every day work. In early 2022, the Centre for Just Places worked with a network of six neighbourhood houses in Darebin to co-design a climate action and resilience framework for neighbourhood houses. We used what we learnt from this process to develop a guidance document.
