Join our very own Kerry-Ann Charles (CIPS Environment Partnership Coordinator) and Michael Jacobs (CIPS CEO) at this year's Pollution Probe’s annual conference and gala entitled "Pollution Probe’s N-O-T (Not Our Typical!) Conference & Gala" on Tuesday, November 17 at 1 PM. This year’s conference and gala will focus on key elements of environmental protections that will help ensure that social equity becomes a fundamental part of sustainable development.
The event will feature two panel discussions that will examine 1) the equitable access to clean and healthy environments; and 2) the equitable participation in climate change solutions.
Panel 1 will examine the disproportionate burden placed on vulnerable and marginalized communities with respect to environmental pollutants, and the gaps between people of different socioeconomic backgrounds with respect to access to clean energy, water, transportation, and other elements of a low-carbon society.
Moderator:
Michael Jacobs (CIPS, CEO)
Panelists:
Kerry-Ann Charles (CIPS, Environment Partnership Coordinator)
