Welcome!
We are a network of people, organizations and communities engaged in climate conversations and action. The resources here will help you better understand how climate change is impacting our region, what people and communities can do to build resilience, and where you can go to meet others and find more information.
Take the self-paced course
You can work through the modules and then then use the content to engage others in your community. Scroll through these slides to learn more.
Join an in-person course
In 2024, How We Thrive partnered with HRM’s Environment and Climate Change team to offer an in-person version of the course in Halifax and Dartmouth.
Subscribe to the calendar to find out about courses and events in 2025.
Drop in on a lunchtime conversation
Each season, Emily Cowin hosts a series of conversations with special guests. Find out more.
Host a potluck, start a conversation, apply for a micro-grant
The time to talk to neighbours about climate risks is before the power outage, flood or wildfire, How We Thrive is offering micro-grants at $50 to help cover refreshments at a neighbourhood conversation, and $200 for a study group.
Fill out a short questionnaire and tell us what you plan to do and we’ll transfer the money. After the event, send us a photo and a brief description, for sharing on social media and inspiring others. With thanks to the Rural Communities Foundation of NS and HalifACT.
