MAIN STAGE SESSION:
Environmental Equity: The Thread Between Climate and DEI We all share a responsibility to address the root causes of climate change and reduce the footprint of our own actions. No group is immune to the effects of climate change, and our efforts to address climate risk are fundamental to the future of thriving societies. Because climate change disproportionately impacts underserved groups, eroding safety, long-term health and economic outcomes, our climate actions should be viewed through the lens of equitable opportunity, further solidifying the need for progress. This Main Stage panel will address the role we play in responding to systemic challenges that have created disparities across society, specifically focused on environmental equity.
