Join us virtually on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, for Intersecting Paths: Climate Action and Social Equities, an engaging conversation with distinguished University of Toronto New College alumni— Catherine Abreu, Dana Collins, and Faith Edem, who are making an impact at the intersection of climate action and social justice.

Moderated by Professor Steve Easterbrook, you will explore how meaningful climate solutions must also centre on justice and equity.

In This Conversation:

  • Explore why a sustainable future must also prioritize justice and equity
  • Gain a clearer understanding of how climate solutions can support, not leave behind, vulnerable communities in the transition to a greener world
  • Discover how innovative approaches uplift underrepresented voices and how they navigate and thrive in climate and environmental issues

Whether you’re passionate about climate action, curious about sustainability, or interested in how social justice and the environment connect, this discussion is for you!
