About Personal Climate Strategy: The Basics
Are you ready for the uncertainties of life during a planetary crisis? Do you have a strategy for helping your family, community or business prepare for what's coming? Join me to learn the essential insights for building a rugged life capable of withstanding growing climate disruption. This two-hour intensive class offers you the fundamental big-systems knowledge and decision-making frameworks needed to build a personal climate strategy. It quickly covers: → Making good long-term decisions for an unstable future. Why every personal climate strategy will be unique — there’s no one formula for everyone. Why there are also no sure-fire solutions, but we can make better choices that improve our odds. → How bad might the planetary crisis get? Why is location so critical to good outcomes in the coming decades — and why have recent political events made it even more critical? → Why the timing and pace of our choice-making matters so much now. → Brief explanations of key concepts: Discontinuity. Brittleness. Relative safety. Ruggedization. The coming climate-housing crisis. → The three general criteria that best measure the strengths and weaknesses of places you might move. An example of how to use these tools. An overview of U.S. regions’ pros and cons. → A few useful tips for pursuing personal ruggedization on a budget, and planning for a chaotic future with kids. → Class will end with a brief Q&A with Alex Steffen (as time permits). ** Can't join us live? Need to arrive late/leave early? No problem. All participants will receive a link to the class recording.

About Alex Steffen
In the face of a rapidly growing crisis, getting stuck means courting disaster. But to take the initiative, you need two tools: an understanding of the patterns beneath the apparent chaos, and a personal strategy for ruggedizing your life amidst unprecedented planetary discontinuities. With over three decades of experience as an award-winning environmental journalist, consultant and climate futurist, I can help you develop the insights you need. I'm passionate about helping individuals like you update your understanding of how the world works now, and teaching new approaches to making better decisions when our old certainties have broken down. Over the last few years, I’ve shared my expertise and insight through online courses, classes and private consultations, reaching over 400 people from across the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and beyond. My work is evidence-based, experience-tested and has proven effective in helping people in a wide variety of situations improve their odds of success. I'm excited for you to join me in class on July 29th! Learn more about my latest work by subscribing to my newsletter and podcast at www.alexsteffen.substack.com.
