Intersections in Climate Change: Environmental Justice in Canada

This month, the Peel Environmental Youth Alliance, People Planet Pages Book Club, Books Art Music Collective, EnviroMuslims and The Community Climate Council will host a panel discussion with guest speakers who will highlight systemic issues related to environmental injustices among marginalized communities in Canada.

We will begin the event with three youth authors showcasing their work from “Our Climate Our Stories,” a compilation of essays, stories, and poems written by Black, Indigenous, and youth of colour from Canada.

The panel will discuss contributing factors to intersectional environmentalism and explore potential actions to create green, just communities.
