SUMMARY:Moving Roots: Diaspora Communities x Climate Action
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate Refugee Week and London Climate Action Week\, Climate Outreach is hosting an event exploring the interconnections between climate action\, migration and diaspora communities. \nAccording to the latest RACE report*\, the UK’s climate sector remains one of the least diverse in the UK\, despite climate change impacting all of us. We know the UK’s society is made up of many diverse diaspora communities connected to cultures\, lands and communities all over the world. \nMany of these groups are playing a key role in ensuring the climate change conversation includes their community’s voices and that climate action is shaped by their unique challenges and experiences. \nIn partnership with Counterpoints Arts\, this event aims to highlight the integral role diaspora communities play in supporting and providing agency to those impacted by climate change and climate-driven migration\, despite often not being included in the conversation. \nWe will also showcase the creative and unique ways diaspora members and leaders are taking climate action and making vital links to their cultures and community spaces\, ensuring the climate conversation includes people from all backgrounds and represents diverse experiences. \nJoin the event to hear from: \n– Fahmida Miah\, Climate Outreach \n– Farah Ahmed\, Our Diaspora Futures \n– Jebi Rahman\, Bangladeshi Diaspora Climate Action (BDCA) \n– Zamzam Ibrahim\, Somalis for Sustainability \n– Ania Drewniok\, POMOC \nAlongside the panel discussion\, there will be delicious plant-based food served\, an artistic performance\, and opportunities to connect with others in the climate and migrant justice space! \nSign up before 20th June to attend. \nBOOK HERE! \n* Racial Action for the Climate Emergency (www.race-report.uk) \n* Photo credit: Photo by Zen Chung from Pexels: https://www.pexels.com/photo/women-gardening-5529587/
