I joined County of San Mateo Office of Sustainability as a Climate Specialist in 2018. I am currently working on multi- risk Climate Adaptation planning with a focus on inclusive community engagement.
Through my company Word Out Consulting (WOC) I specialize in strategic community engagement, communications, policy, and project and partnership/business development for equitable and inclusive climate adaptation and climate mitigation solutions.
• Stakeholder research, recruitment, engagement, education and collaboration — specialty in disadvantaged communities, experience with multi-lingual education, events and campaigns.
• Strategic consulting on equity implications of climate risks and impacts, green infrastructure and development.
• Entrepreneurial project, program and event development and implementation. Fund development, cross-sector partnerships, win-win solutions.
• Full spectrum communications, outreach, marketing and promotions — specialty in events
• Strategic advising and public speaking. Topics include: Understanding Climate Equity (with Phoenix Armenta); Sea level rise, flooding, preparedness and environmental justice: approaches to equitable resilience programs; Climate Engagement: achieving relevancy with diverse constituents.
More about me: I co-founded model multiracial sea level rise equity coalition Shore Up Marin (2013), and served on the Steering Committee of adaptation and equity-focused Resilient Communities Initiative (RCI) in 2017, leading an RCI team to contribute to Save the Bay's Bay Smart Communities policy white paper. I was a peer reviewer of the CA 4th Climate Change Assessment Climate Justice Report and CA State Hazard Mitigation Plan Environmental Justice Section. I co-founded the ASAP Bay Area Hub, am a senior fellow of the Environmental Leadership Program and a member of Women's Alliance for Climate Justice and Bay Area Cause Communications. http://WordOutConsulting.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannahdoress
