The Health Equity Interest Group hosted a webinar highlighting the marginalized communities most impacted by climate change, focusing on effective communication, inclusive outreach, and building meaningful partnerships.
Marginalized communities are often the most affected by climate change—and the least supported in addressing its impact. This webinar explored how to navigate conflicting priorities with these communities and how to approach them to understand their unique needs. The webinar explained the intersectional factors that shape their experiences and offer insights into building more responsive and respectful partnerships.
Participants learned effective techniques for communicating about climate change and gain practical tips for conducting meaningful outreach. By the end of the session, attendees learned how to implement inclusive engagement strategies and support climate-related projects that reflect the priorities of the communities most at risk.
