Climate change affects us all, but historically marginalized populations are worst impacted. Additionally, environmental organizations that work on climate change lack racial diversity and therefore the skills to address equity challenges. This presentation by Switzer Fellow Clara Fang will look at where we are in the climate movement in terms of diversity and inclusion and how we can foster a movement with more belonging and justice for all.

The past two years have presented unique challenges for working parents navigating changing situations with school, childcare, work and family life. We invite Switzer Fellows who are working parents to come together to share stories and support around COVID and other challenges in an informal networking event. Register here.
