Co-Designing with Community Leaders: Lessons from Chicago’s Cumulative Impact Assessment

This workshop will share lessons learned from Chicago’s Cumulative Impact Assessment, a citywide project that provided a look at how environmental burdens and other stressors vary across Chicago. The Cumulative Impact Assessment built upon input from community-led environmental justice organizations, with people most impacted by environmental injustices providing leadership and strategic guidance. In this workshop, participants will learn best practices on co-leading and co-designing projects with community partners, based on the Chicago Cumulative Impact Assessment. Participants will also practice using resources such as the Spectrum of Engagement and Elevated Chicago’s Community Engagement Principles to apply to their local contexts.

Speakers: Susan Martinez, Eduardo Munoz
