National Wildlife Federation is partnering with the Women’s Environment and Development Organization to hold a series of Regional Fair Climate Summits where we bring together social justice advocates, youth, women leaders, faith leaders, community leaders, and environmentalists. At our Regional Fair Climate Summits, we aim to:
- Inform each other of the work we are doing and how it intersects with efforts to curb climate change.
- Identify events, media opportunities, and other points of collaboration that we can work together to advocate for a Fair Climate Agenda.
- Develop a shared set of principles and policy objectives for which we can collectively advocate.
