(Niagara At Large is posting the following for our readers’ information.)
The Niagara Climate Change Network (NCCN) invites you to attend the Community Climate Change Action Planning Forum to discover what is going on in Niagara regarding Climate Change, dream about Niagara’s future, design an Action Plan to help us get there, and be inspired to create our own destiny as a resilient community.
Climate change may represent the greatest challenge to our future well-being.
Scientific evidence of the increasingly rapid rate of climate change calls for a renewed sense of urgency and action as these changes threaten our food and water sources, public safety and health, infrastructure systems, and our local economy – all significantly impacting on our quality of life.
WHO: This event is hosted by the Niagara Climate Change Network and features Guest Speaker David Miller. David Miller is a leading advocate for the creation of sustainable urban economies. In addition to being a strong and forceful champion for the next generation of jobs through sustainability, Miller advises companies – and governments- on practical measures to make this happen.
WHAT: At the forum, the NCCN will be releasing a Climate Change Charter for Niagara and encouraging individuals, organizations and businesses to commit to work together to address climate change.
WHERE: Welland Arena, 501 King St. , Welland, Ontario
