Since completing our Climate Action Plan in 2022, UUAA created reports on our many climate activities that reduce our carbon footprint (mitigation), help UUAA and our community adapt and thrive in a changing climate (resilience), help others in our community address harm caused by climate changes (climate justice) and change ourselves and our UUAA community in ways that help all of us build climate work into our lives and work (transformation).
