Wildfire Resilience Workshop: NYCW2026

Event Description

​The interactive wildfire workshop simulates real-world wildfire challenges with game-based learning. In the workshop, participants will collaborate and make resilience investment decisions to explore ways to mitigate and adapt to the growing wildfire risks.

​In most cases, investment will be easy if we have unlimited resources and complete information. Unfortunately, most of our decisions will have trade-offs and complex uncertainties.

​If we would love to mitigate the wildfire damages, what are the decision blind spots we should consider? And what are the climate actions we should first prioritize?

​Join our workshop and shape our future with wildfire-resilience practices.

​Recommended Audience

• ​Aspiring Climate Fellows: Advance the knowledge for wildfire mitigation and adaptation

• ​Social Climate Influencers: Promote wildfire knowledge and action to local communities.

• ​Corporate Investment: Revisit the location vulnerability with mitigation and adaptation investment.

​The workshop's main value will come from discussion and reflection. No climate background is required—just curiosity to explore more with others.

​Expected Outcomes

​✅ Understand the complexity and the trade-off for wildfire prevention

​✅ Explore wildfire resilience investment strategy with various actions

​✅ Strengthen cross-sector collaboration with workshop stakeholders

​Trauma-Informed Practices

​If you and/or your family members or friends have recently experienced a wildfire, please kindly self-evaluate your current condition for participation. During the workshop, if you feel uncomfortable, please notify the speaker and stop the engagement. If needed, we recommend seeking professional support.
