Join us on June 20 for an inspirational online webinar with the legendary international musician and passionate children's advocate, Raffi! This webinar is co-hosted by Climate Emergency Unit and For Our Kids.

The Climate Emergency Unit and Climate Caucus invite you to attend a one-hour online informational briefing about a potentially transformative policy idea to fund municipal climate infrastructure.

This session is intended for people who work in the municipal sector. Come learn about the proposal for a new federal Just Transition Transfer: What is it? How could it solve key climate policy challenges? And how might it represent a source of significant, stable long-term funding for vital community climate infrastructure?

Join Anjali Appadurai, Naomi Klein, Seth Klein, Juan Vargas Alba, and other guests as we outline our plans for winning a national Youth Climate Corps as well as climate corps in British Columbia and Alberta. The event will feature a special video debut, musical guests, and a panel discussion about the history of such initiatives and efforts to campaign for climate corps across the country.

There will be an opportunity to network and meet other campaigners and organizers in your area to discuss exciting strategies for winning a Climate Corps.

Come learn about this idea, find out where it’s taking root, and find out how you can get involved in this campaign.

Join moderator Dan Hendry with KFPL, Earth Hub, Sustainable Kingston and community organizers for author Seth Klein's climate conversation.

The PhD Policy Studies program is excited to host the 2nd talk of our Speaker Series, “Mobilizing Canada for the Climate Emergency” with Seth Klein, Author of A Good War, and Team Lead with the Climate Emergency Unit.

The Tête-à-Tête brings together Diana Beresford-Kroeger, Seth Klein and host Adrian Harewood to share their unique reflections on ways to heal the damaged earth and break the tightening trip of the climate crisis. Beresford-Kroeger is a world-renowned botanist, medical biochemist and author, whose work To Speak for the Trees uniquely combines western scientific knowledge and the traditional concepts of the ancient world. Klein is an author, policy researcher, social activist, media commentator on public policy issues, and founder of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, a public policy research institute committed to social, economic and environmental justice. His life’s work has been immersed in climate change and inequality issues.

Every day we are reminded that we are in a climate emergency. Unprecedented heat waves, droughts, fires, extreme weather events, floods, refugees – the list goes on. Taken together with the current pandemic, it’s understandable that many of us feel frightened, overwhelmed, powerless. Where can we find the individual and collective strength to clearly face the truth of the emergency, mourn the damage being done to our blue planet, and inspire ourselves and others to action? Seth Klein will speak to this question at this in person event.

In this workshop you will learn about the strategy and tactics our organizations are using to build power, centring now on a parliamentary petition calling for just transition legislation. You will learn how to use a parliamentary petition to organize in your community, and get support for meeting with local MPs about just transition and climate emergency legislation.
