When: NEW DATE Thursday May 11th, 2023  6:30 PM Eastern Daylight Time  

Topic: The Climate Emergency Unit: Strategies for Effective Climate Action

Guests: Seth Klein


“What we’ve been doing isn’t working,” writes Seth Klein.  We are facing a climate emergency, but few of us, including most politicians, journalists, even environmental organizations aren’t acting that way.  

It’s time we learned the lessons of WW II, and COVID-19, and mobilized to bring about “radical systemic change.”. All the machinery of government, the news media, educational institutions, and the public must be focussed on the crucial “national task” confronting us.  

Here is a sampling of The Climate Emergency Unit’s work:

The 6 Markers of the Climate Emergency. Framework for the Climate Emergency. How do we know when a government is in emergency mode? When they act like it. https://www.climateemergencyunit.ca/emergencymarkersframework

Youth Climate Corps

The Youth Climate Corps is an invitation to the country’s youth to mobilize to confront today’s gravest threat: the climate emergency. The Youth Climate Corps could be a flagship and transformative new public program, signaling to young people and society at large that we are genuinely in climate emergency mode.
