Join us for "Changing Environmental Engagement Practice: A Webinar on Using a Connected Communities Approach to Grow Local Climate Leadership"

We’re excited to announce an upcoming webinar, co-hosted by Toronto Environmental Alliance (TEA) and the Centre for Connected Communities (C3).

We invite you to join us on Monday, October 18th for a webinar and learning session, exploring how a resident-led approach to climate engagement can create deep and meaningful engagement and support community-led climate solutions.

Environmental organizations have typically deployed outreach strategies that are designed to compel people to adopt pre-defined climate goals and actions. This approach stands in opposition to commitments to build a more inclusive and equitable climate movement. At a time where we face multiple, intersecting crises, it is critical to support deep, meaningful climate engagement that speaks to other community priorities.

In this webinar:
- The Toronto Environmental Alliance (TEA) will share lessons from their learning journey adopting a resident-led approach and supporting community-centred solutions, sharing insights and lessons from the "Accelerating Neighbourhood Climate Solutions Through Community Hubs" initiative.
- The Centre for Connected Communities (C3) will share insights from their award-winning work developing a connected communities approach and explore how the “10 Keys to Connected Communities” can be applied to climate work.
