The climate crisis is a complex, multi-faceted challenge. There are countless intersections between climate change and a range of other issues such as poverty, hunger, equality, employment, and sustainable land and water. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a useful framework for unpacking these linkages.
This two-part series explores the interconnections between SDG 13: Climate Action and other goals, through 10 articles by diverse community changemakers across Canada.
Part 1 of two publications
This first publication explores the transformations that we as individuals and as society need to make to respond to the climate crisis in a way that promotes health and wellbeing, empowers diverse groups to take action and recognizes intersectionality.
