A conference where all are welcome

Climate change impacts all life, but especially people in frontline communities, who are left out of important conversations about taking climate action. Our first diversity and inclusion virtual conference will bring individuals from all backgrounds together in unity, community, and trust. Join the conference to form connections with fellow climate advocates and walk away with tools of empowerment and confidence.

Share your story, and listen to others

The virtual conference will provide a safe space for people who have been historically excluded and should be heard in climate conversations, such as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color), people with disabilities, and people of the LGBTQIA+ community. We invite you to be yourself and share your stories, experiences, successes, and struggles as a path forward in continuing your climate action. Allies are welcome to attend the conference to listen, observe, respect, and reflect on the experiences of others, with the hope of bringing back ideas for the next steps on how to make your CCL chapter more inclusive. 

Our event will kick off with a reception on Friday, Sept. 16 at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT for a chance to get to know each other. The one day virtual conference is Saturday, Sept. 17, 12 - 6 p.m. ET / 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. PT. 

This conference is organized and led by CCL’s Affinity Action Teams including: Asian Pacific, Climate and Culture, Differently ABLED, Environmental Justice, Higher Education, Latinos, LGBTQIA+ and Allies OUTreach, Listening to Indigenous Voices, Peace Corps, People of the Global Majority, and Youth.
