Queering Climate Action - May 13
As part of the Queering Climate Action event series, this Youth Climate Stewardship Seminar will focus on fostering youth stewardship in climate action. Youth are invited to learn from queer climate leaders, see examples of queer success in the environmental field (and the pathways that led them there) and see how they can be involved in climate action! This program aims to address barriers to queer involvement in science and inspire climate-based career paths for budding youth environmentalists.
