A shifting climate impacts us all, from increased storm severity to higher frequencies of extreme heat. By building green job capacity, advancing nature-based solutions, and enhancing critical infrastructure, our partners protect work to uplift communities now and for generations to come.

SBP partnership

SBP is a national nonprofit dedicated to increasing resilience and helping communities reduce the time between disaster and recovery. SBP’s Capacity Building for Community-Based Resilience program enhances climate resilience in under-resourced communities by embedding Resilience and Recovery Fellows in local and state government offices and enabling them to access and leverage disaster mitigation funds. This year, through a grant to SBP, fellows obtained $21.3 million in funding to support climate-resilience initiatives in Massachusetts and West Virginia.  

We also collaborated with SBP as part of our first Integrated Impact Initiative, which leverages Liberty Mutual’s core capabilities to support communities in becoming more resilient to the impacts of climate change. Solaria Labs, Liberty Mutual’s enterprise innovation incubator, conducted stakeholder interviews, developed digital experience concepts and hosted a design thinking workshop in Boston to help create a tool that will enhance community resilience. Further, we committed $1.5 million to empower SBP to build, test and refine this tool, with the intention of scaling it nationally.
