RSVP for the event

2019 was an incredible year for Boston in terms of climate, energy, and environment. Goals were met and many action plans were released. These achievements were due in large part to our partner community organizations and passionate community members that contributed and supported the work. To honor these accomplishments, Greenovate Boston will be hosting the first ever Greenovation Celebration!

The purpose of the Greenovation Celebration is to:

• inspire intersectional dialogue on climate and equity
• encourage networking among leaders from various climate, energy, and environmental sectors
• host brainstorming sessions among various leaders to create innovative initiatives to further Boston's climate work, and
• ultimately leave with our Greenovation Action Plan for 2020.

Please join us to lend your passion and expertise to this innovative celebration. We want leaders from all sectors to join in this conversation to ensure thorough considerations are being integrated into this important conversation. Whether this is racial equity, gender equity, housing, economic development, workforce development, or emergency preparedness, all need to be considered.

We will go over what the City has done, highlight community organizations doing amazing things, have a networking session, and lead into our Greenovation Hub session to brainstorm innovative, collaborative actions that we will all take together.

The Gender Equity and Climate Roundtable is meant to encourage conversation around the connection between climate change and gender equity. Though climate change will affect all Bostonians, many Bostonians are more vulnerable to climate change. Climate change will have a greater negative effect on these groups. The Equity Dialogues focus on the most climate vulnerable populations to encourage greater dialogue on the importance of social equity in addressing climate change. This is with the goal of utilizing the conversations to foster greater social resilience among Boston communities.

• older adults
• youth
• people of color
• women
• people with disabilities (mobility, cognitive, sensory), and
• citizens experiencing homelessness.

The conversation will go over the impacts the City is expecting, connect how existing social structures disparately impact women, and how that will impact preparation against climate change. We will then end with a roundtable conversation having communal dialogue around the connection and what we can all do to address the disparities.

If you have any questions or are interested in learning more about the Equity Dialogues, please email David Corbie at David.Corbie@Boston.Gov.
