Equity in a Changing Climate: Empowering Victoria Communities

This event is free!
Date: Tuesday August 6th, 2024
Time: 6:30pm – 8:30pm
Location: Oaklands Community Centre and Association, 2827 Belmont Avenue

You are invited to join the Community Social Planning Council for an evening of conversation, artmaking and good food on August 6th! This event will focus on understanding community members’ needs and desires regarding climate adaptation and how we can work together to create a more resilient and equitable Victoria.

This event is part of the Climate Equity by Design project led by the Community Social Planning Council, which will inform the city of Victoria’s forthcoming Climate Change Adaptation Plan to ensure that adaptation strategies are tailored to the unique needs of the community and based on the lived experience of those who are most at risk from the impacts of climate change. The CEbD project focuses on low-income, IBPOC (Indigenous, Black, and People of Color), 2SLGBTQ+ individuals and households, people with disabilities and newcomers to ensure that adaptation planning in Victoria is reflective of their expressed needs, perceptions and capacity.

We’ll share a meal, and have breakout conversations and artmaking activities to hear your thoughts and concerns about climate change, and what support community members need to build resilience.
