Are you worried about the climate crisis and don’t know where to begin to take action? A good place to start is your workplace. Companies wield enormous influence and they have an important role to play in reducing emissions and advocating for climate policy. When employees speak, companies act!

According to Kite Insights, 8 out of 10 employees say they are ready and willing to take action on climate change in their jobs, but fewer than half feel “very” or “quite able” to do so. In this workshop you will hear directly from employee advocates about their climate journeys. Arielle Terry, Digby Hall, and Drew Wilkinson will share their insights and experiences driving organizational change. Join ClimateVoice and Work for Climate for a dynamic conversation about how employees can speak up to raise the bar on corporate climate advocacy.
