# [WEBINAR | Grassroots Versus Grasstops: The Complex Dynamics of Achieving a Just Transition](https://www.tamarackcommunity.ca/multimedia/webinar-grassroots-versus-grasstops-the-complex-dynamics-of-achieving-a-just-transition)

 Written by [the Tamarack Institute](https://www.tamarackcommunity.ca/multimedia/author/tamarack-institute) | Jul 27, 2023 4:34:21 PM

This webinar recording features a conversation with Seth Klein, author of [A Good War: Mobilizing Canada for the Climate Emergency](https://www.sethklein.ca/book) and Team Lead and director of strategy with the [Climate Emergency Unit](https://www.climateemergencyunit.ca/).

Together, we unpacked questions around the complex dynamics of advocacy and engagement that is focused on the grassroots level (mobilizing everyday people behind a cause) versus the grasstops (targeting politicians and other influential people).
