CCL Training: Diversity & the Climate Movement: Bridging the Cultural Gap on Climate Change

Join Clara Fang, CCL's Higher Education Outreach Coordinator, as she shares findings from her PhD research on diversity, equity, and inclusion in the environmental movement.

Studies show that people of color in the United States support climate action as much if not more than Whites, but they don't seem to be translating that concern into membership in environmental organizations, many of which struggle with diversity.

In this webinar, you'll learn about the historic and cultural barriers for people of color in the environmental movement, and what CCL can do to be a more diverse and inclusive organization.
