SUMMARY:Climate Ventures Conversations: Cat Abreu of Climate Action Network Canada
DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Social Innovation’s Climate Ventures Conversations* are a chance to hear from innovators and leaders working for climate justice and climate solutions. You’ll gain a greater understanding of the different ways in which we can tackle the climate crisis, and hear some inspiring personal stories along the way.\nOn Thursday, September 17, we’re sitting down with Cat Abreu, longtime climate justice campaigner and Executive Director of Climate Action Network Canada – Réseau action climat Canada (CAN-Rac). Join us as we discuss Canadian climate movement building and a just, green recovery to the COVID-19 pandemic.\n*Formerly Climate Ventures Mornings, now taking place during lunch to accommodate those joining from coast to coast!\nAbout the Speaker\nCatherine Abreu is an internationally recognized, award-winning campaigner whose work centres on building powerful coalitions to advance transformative action on climate change. One of the world’s 100 most influential people in climate policy as named by Apolitical in 2019, she has over 15 years of experience campaigning on environmental issues including 7 years in the heart of the global climate movement.\nCatherine is the Executive Director of Climate Action Network – Réseau action climat (CAN-Rac) Canada. Canada’s primary network of organizations working on climate change and energy issues, CAN-Rac is a coalition of more than 100 organizations operating from coast to coast to coast. For 30 years, CAN-Rac has been the only national organization with a mandate to promote the interests of the Canadian climate movement as a whole, rather than any one individual organization. Catherine joined CAN-Rac Canada in July 2016, after five years leading the energy and climate programs at the Ecology Action Centre, Atlantic Canada’s longest-running environmental advocacy organization. She is also the former Coordinator of the Atlantic Canada Sustainable Energy Coalition (ACSEC).\nRead Cat’s full bio here and follow her on Twitter.\nAbout the Moderator\nShea Sinnott is a Senior Programs Manager at the Centre for Social Innovation, where she manages Climate Ventures and Earth Tech – an incubator, coworking space, and accelerator for climate and freshwater solutions. Before joining CSI, Shea worked for almost a decade as a program manager, organizer, and educator with a range of organizations fighting for social and environmental justice – including Code for Canada, the David Suzuki Foundation, Organize BC, and OpenMedia. Shea holds a Master’s in Adult Education & Community Development from the University of Toronto.\nConnect with her on LinkedIn or follow her on Twitter.\nPlease note that we’ll use Zoom to connect.
