Designing for 'Last-Mile' Climate Resilience with Communities

Technologically supported tools and solutions are essential for mitigating risks and adapting to the impacts of climate change, particularly in vulnerable communities. However, the "last-mile" challenges — challenges to effectively delivering and adopting these solutions at the community level — often prevent implementation and exacerbate building climate resilience at the community level. This workshop focuses on exploring these challenges from a Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) perspective, highlighting how user- and community-centered design, participatory approaches, and technological interventions can support the accessibility, usability, participation, and impact of climate resilience tools. The goal of the workshop is to bring people together to discuss, share, and compare different approaches and strategies, challenges, and design considerations and concerns.
