SUMMARY:Vulnerable Communities and Climate Justice: A Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:Vulnerable Communities and Climate Justice: A Roundtable\nPanelists: Angele Alook (York University, School of Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies), Geoff Dembicki (The Petroleum Papers), Zamani Ra (Founder of CEED Canada), and Matthew T. Huber (Climate Change as Class War)\nOrganized by the Institute for Environment, Conservation and Sustainability, in partnership with Another Story Bookshop and the National Observer\nThe wealthiest are the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, but it’s marginalized and working-class communities that bear the brunt of climate impacts. Join us for a panel discussion on the unequal burden of climate change, examining how vulnerable communities are disproportionately affected and how they will play a key role in advancing a fair, inclusive transition. We’ll also explore why some voices have been left out of environmental movements and how we can create pathways to inclusive climate action.\nThis event is free and open to the public – Register now to secure your spot.\nFor more information, visit www.utsc.utoronto.ca/iecs or follow us on Instagram @iecs.environment\nPanelists:\nAngele Alook is an assistant professor in the School of Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies at York University.
