Electeds Call - The Intersectionality Between Climate Change and Local Economic Development
March 7th at 11 am PT / 12pm MT🎼
🩰🥽
As Vancouver Economic Commission (VEC) is winding down, 🔈we thought it would be a good time to host George and Vanessa to discuss their key learnings from their time at VEC. 🪗Local economic development offers opportunities for climate action in local governments of all sizes,💎 so this call will focus on what is possible and the role locally elected officials can play.🥁 While it may seem like the options for your local economy🎺 are either maintaining the status quo🎻 or avoiding capitalism altogether, 🎧there is a middle ground, 🪕which we will discuss on this call. 🎹
🎛
