Climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our time — and it must be solved by the whole global community.
But climate change isn’t affecting everyone equally. Many communities that are already the most vulnerable are the ones that are being impacted most severely.
That’s why it’s vital that any climate change solutions put equity at the centre. Watch this free online workshop to learn about how equity and climate change are connected, and how to develop truly equitable climate solutions.
Who should watch:
This workshop is for any public servant or policymaker who wants to learn more about the link between climate change and equity — whether or not you work directly on climate or equity policy.
