MAIN STAGE SESSION:
How Youth Are Setting The Pace For Climate Equity Nationwide, the individuals most impacted by climate change tend to be those from marginalized groups and these communities are underrepresented in the climate movement. Climate change requires more than technological solutions, it demands a fair and just approach.
Tom's of Maine believes in placing equity at the core of its mission to create a healthy future for all people. Climate change and equity are not separate issues but are deeply interconnected, and addressing one requires considering the other. To spark insights into action, Tom's of Maine will convene a panel of youth voices at The Nest Climate Campus in September 2023. Attendees of this panel event can expect to see the energy, creativity, and commitment these young people bring take center stage, as they continue highlighting the need to imbed equity in climate solutions. Panel Takeaways:
- Attendees will learn about the intersection of climate change and equity
- Attendees will hear from underrepresented youth voices redefining the climate movement
- Attendees will be the first to hear about the Tom’s of Maine Incubator Year Two program and call to action to apply.
