Big Thinking at Congress 2024

How can we jointly confront the immense challenges posed by climate change and combat environmental injustice? Join expert panelists as they discuss the intersection of environmental racism, disability rights, and climate change inequities in Indigenous, Black, and other racialized communities, as well as those living with disabilities and mental illness across Canada. Through this panel, you’ll discover disability-inclusive approaches to tackling the climate crisis and envision alternative sustainable futures rooted in environmental justice and Indigenous climate leadership.
