‼️TCP FULL REPORT ANNOUNCEMENT‼️

After 10 months of research and analysis for the Tucson Climate Project (TCP), a S. Arizona Environmental Network SWOT Assessment, a final report has officially been completed. The full 196 page report is accessible through the link below.

Nick Spinelli and I would like to thank everyone who helped make this project possible. Your contributions large and small were all vital to making this report a reality. Our hope is for the findings to not be an end unto themselves, but rather an opportunity for a reflective exercise for the sector as a whole. We would like this to be a chance for each of us in S. Arizona to take a long hard look in the mirror so decisions can be made and new paths can be charted. We have taken great care to capture the collective voice of all of the TCP participants and our analysis is just that, our analysis. Please feel free to examine the curated excerpts that make up the bulk of the report using whatever lens of analysis that you see fit.

We humbly present this to the community and ask that you read, reflect, and respond as you deem appropriate. Thank you once again everyone and please know that we are truly honored to be the caretakers and curators of this most valuable of collective voices.

Luis & Nick
