Online Event

Climate change affects us all, but historically marginalized populations are worst impacted. In addition, environmental organizations that work on climate change lack racial diversity and therefore the skills to address equity challenges. This presentation by Switzer Fellow Clara Fang will look at where we are in the climate movement in terms of diversity and inclusion and how we can foster a movement with more belonging and justice for all.

This event is open to Switzer Fellows and their colleagues. It will be held on Zoom and will be recorded.
