Climate Justice is Racial Justice is Labour Justice is Gender Justice is Economic Justice.
Calgary Climate Hub's Climate Justice program emerged as a renewed commitment to addressing the systemic causes of the climate crisis, intersecting injustices, and the disproportionate impacts on equity deserving communities.
Through outreach, educational engagements, community led mutual aid projects, and municipal advocacy campaigns, Calgary Climate Hub is working to strengthen BIPOC and diverse climate leadership across Calgary, realize clear equity outcomes, as well as spark a greater dialogue about the need for climate justice within our movement.
This program is realized via two primary methods
1) In partnership with Mount Royal University and University of Calgary Social Work departments, we are providing one of the only Green Social Work practicum programs in Alberta. Through community outreach, educational engagements, and events with equity deserving communities, we are exploring the intersection of climate and inequity, quality of life and cost of living issues, relevant citizen priorities, and clear collective responses. Outcome goals include enhanced community cohesion and empowerment, the advancement of existing community equity actions, and/or increased inclusion of equity deserving communities within Calgary Climate Hub programming.
2) In partnership with CDLI's Building Connected Communities Project, our Climate Justice program brings together asset based community development, storytelling, and deep systems thinking to support the advancement of collective and just climate actions in Calgary. This has involved a number of events to help build the movement, and the formation of a citizen working group exploring mutual aid projects and municipal policy engagements.
