Activating Community for Climate Action

Friday, April 9, 2021 | 12pm-1pm PT/3pm-4pm ET

Activating Community for Climate Action is put on by The Business Council on Climate Change (BC3), a multi-sector partnership dedicated to incubating, scaling, and sharing world-leading solutions to address climate change. BC3 developed a tool and framework for engaging employees in climate action called the MyCAP (My Climate Action Plan) which is now also offered to the public through this Trello board template.

This panel discussion will provide an overview of the MyCAP Trello board tool, and listeners will hear directly from community leaders regarding whether this tool can help amplify their work. You will hear more about the work these leaders are doing and their thought process for engaging their respective communities in climate action.

Recording is available here.
