SUMMARY:Mobilizing Canada for the Climate Emergency
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nJoin us for the 2nd talk of our virtual speaker series, Building Back Better: An Agenda for Progressive Public Policy, featuring Seth Klein\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nAbout the presenter: Seth Klein is currently the Team Lead and Director of Strategy for the Climate Emergency Unit (a five-year project of the David Suzuki Institute). For 22 years (1996-2018), he served as the founding British Columbia Director of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, a public policy research institute committed to social, economic and environmental justice. He is a freelance researcher, writer, policy consultant and speaker. Seth is also an adjunct professor with Simon Fraser University’s Urban Studies program.\nSeth’s book – A Good War: Mobilizing Canada for the Climate Emergency – was released in September 2020.\nSeth is a founder and served for eight years as co-chair of the BC Poverty Reduction Coalition, a network of over 50 community organizations in BC campaigning for a comprehensive poverty reduction plan in BC. He is a founder and served for 10 years on the advisory committee of the Metro Vancouver Living Wage for Families campaign (and was co-creator of the methodology for calculating the living family wage, now used in about three dozen Canadian communities). He currently serves on the board of Dogwood. He is an advisory board member for the Columbia Institute’s Centre for Civic Governance. And he is a founder, advisor and instructor for Next Up, a leadership program for young people committed to social and environmental justice.\nSeth’s research deals primarily with climate policy and climate justice, fiscal policy, taxation, welfare policy, poverty, inequality, economic security, and job creation. His research reports can be found on the CCPA’s website; and his policy commentary can be found on the CCPA-BC’s blog. Seth also writes a bi-monthly column for the National Observer.\nA social activist for over 35 years, Seth lives in East Vancouver with his partner and two children. Seth has been listed by Vancouver Magazine as one of the 50 most powerful people in the city, and by Homemakers Magazine among the “60 men we love.” He does not know how he ended up on either list, but he humbly accepts the latter.\nFor more visit: https://www.sethklein.ca/\nAttending the Event: This event will be hosted online using Zoom.
