SUMMARY:How Collective Impact can support climate transitions in communities
DESCRIPTION:\nHow Collective Impact can support climate transitions in communities: Lessons from Communities Ending Poverty\nDate: Wednesday, November 17, 2021 | 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. ET\nSpeakers: Paul Born, Cathy Wright, Shannon Franssen, Teika Newton\nTamarack’s Communities Ending Poverty (CEP) network supports 89 members representing 330 communities across Canada in their efforts to end poverty. Through a collective impact approach, these communities have developed multi-sector leadership roundtables, engaged people with lived/living experiences of poverty and other diverse community members, and developed and implemented common visions and plans. Their efforts have contributed to significant reductions in poverty rates nationwide. This webinar explores what potential the CEP model has for the climate transition space, and how communities can use collective impact to accelerate just local transitions.\n\nRegister for this webinar below. All registrants will receive a full recording of the webinar, a copy of the slides, and a collection of links and resources.\n \nSpeakers\nPaul Born Co-CEO, Tamarack Institute\nPaul Born is a global leader and an award-winning author on issues of community. His knowledge about Collective Impact and Community Engagement is extensive. Paul grew up as the son of refugees that worked together to survive and then thrive.

Prior to moving into semi-retirement, she served as executive director of Living SJ, a dynamic network of leaders from business, government, non-profits and low-income neighbourhoods, focused on ending generational poverty. She supported the development of this growing network as it applied a collective impact approach to four game-changing priorities – education, health, employment and neighbourhoods – impacting the lives of individuals and families living in poverty.\nAs both a professional and a volunteer, Cathy has contributed to changing social issues at the local, provincial and national levels. Her work, primarily in the non-profit sector in poverty reduction, social planning, and adult literacy, is guided by the necessity of diverse partners working and learning together.\nCathy is a recipient of the 2017 Vibrant Communities Canada Legacy Award.\nShannon Franssen Executive Director, Climate Action Network – Réseau action climat (CAN-Rac) Canada\nShannon Franssen has been working in the community movement in Ontario and Quebec for over 25 years.
