Welcome to the first-ever Community Climate Transitions bi-monthly newsletter!

Hi there,

This is an exciting moment for us here at Tamarack as we embark on this new journey. We’ll be applying the lessons we’ve learned from our work ending poverty, deepening community and building youth futures to accelerate a just and equitable climate transition, aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals.

In the months ahead, we will be forming a network of communities across Canada that want to take a holistic approach to tackle climate change – one that contributes to flourishing local economies and healthy and resilient communities, while working to end poverty and ensure no one is left behind.

Today, we are officially launching this work, with a brand-new website and a host of resources for you to check out.

We look forward to learning together!
