As this year’s host organization, we’re so excited to bring community land trust homeowners, partners, practitioners, and supporters from Hawaii, Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and from across Montana to learn from one another. Hope you’ll join us!
More on the Plenary:
This session will feature two presentations on disaster extraction and resilience. The first presentation will demonstrate how Lahaina CLT is using the CLT model to combat predatory post-disaster land grabs (i.e., disaster capitalism), build cross-community solidarity, and rematriate land for indigenous stewardship. The second presentation will share findings from an international research study on how CLTs are engaging in creative, place-based strategies to strengthen disaster resilience. Themes include CLTs as vehicles for Land Back and rematriation, sustainable and disaster-resilient building, community connection, mutual learning across CLT networks, and de-centering land as a commodity while promoting land stewardship.
Presenters: Autumn Ness, Executive Director of Lahaina CLT and Amber Khan, PhD, Disaster Researcher at the University of Washington
