Building Just Ecosystems: How the Social Sector Can Advance Climate Justice

-

Barr Foundation, 2 Atlantic Ave, Boston, MA, 02110

With climate change on everyone’s mind, it’s important to prioritize equity. This means being intentional about how our environmental work, and the burden of doing that work, impacts communities. Join us for an interactive panel discussion for nonprofits and funders who are either involved in climate justice work already, or are interested in learning more about it. We will discuss challenges and emergent opportunities to advance climate justice work, as well as how to center grassroots nonprofits and the communities they serve. The event will consist of an interactive panel conversation, table discussions, and time for networking.

Panelists

Kalila Barnett, Senior Program Officer for Climate Resilience, Barr Foundation
Kate Grundy, Executive Director of Devonshire Foundation
Eddie Rosa, Director of Community Programs, Groundwork Lawrence
Marissa Zampino, Community Organizer, Mystic River Watershed Association
