What: Climate Justice in BC: Re-Imagining a Good Green Life
Who: Seth Klein, BC Director for the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives
When: Tuesday, October 11, starting at 7 p.m.
Where: Schubert Centre, 3505 30th Ave., Vernon

The hot topics of equality, jobs, and climate justice will be the focus of a special presentation with Seth Klein in Vernon next week.

Klein’s talk, Climate Justice: How BC can be carbon-zero with more equality and thousands of good jobs, will share key findings and policy solutions produced by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternative’s Climate Justice Project.

Klein is the BC director for the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA). Much of his research deals primarily with welfare policy, poverty, inequality and economic security.

His talk is free and open to the public and is co-sponsored by UBC Okanagan, the Sustainable Environment Network Society, the Canadian Federation of University Women and the North Okanagan Shuswap Green Party.
