We are now less than two weeks out from Climate Day 2022 on March 8th at Expo West, and we cannot wait! The agenda reflects all of the speakers and topics that we have been so eager to bring in-person to you. You will see some consistent themes throughout the day: the critical role that distributors and retailers play in mobilizing the supply chain, the importance of centering justice and equity in our climate work, strategies for achieving net zero goals, why companies need to engage in policy action, and how to connect with consumers about climate.
- See the full agenda on the Expo West website
- Visit the Climate Collaborative website for an event overview
To make Climate Day as actionable and impactful as possible, our vision for the event was to weave together speakers and messages that will touch hearts and minds. Speakers include:
- Rev. Lennox Yearwood Jr, Hip Hop Caucus
- Tamara Toles O'Laughlin, Environmental Grantmakers Association
- Ed Maibach, George Mason University Center for Climate Change Communication
- Lauren Yarmuth, The Cultural Conditions Project
- Chief Dana Tizya-Tramm, Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation
- Clover Hogan, Force of Nature
...and so many more!
We are at such a critical moment, and we want to speak to what is alive in so many of our hearts, bring voice to what is at stake and what is needed in our world, connect with this amazing community, and then take all of this energy and move it into meaningful action. The time is now for all of us to step even further into this work.
I so look forward to seeing many of you in Anaheim!
With gratitude,
Courtney Pineau
