Community Conversation on Climate Justice: How it Helps Us All to be held at Catawba College

Catawba College’s Center for the Environment, the local NAACP, and Reimagining America Project are kicking off Black History Month with a community conversation on Climate Justice. The event will take place in Catawba’s Center for the Environment, Room 302 on February 1st at 6:30 pm. Refreshments begin at 6 pm. Virtual attendance is available.

Many have heard about the problems climate change creates for communities far and wide. Climate change also has a tremendous impact that disproportionately affects our communities of color and those economically disenfranchised. Climate change is also a justice issue – justice of equality, equity, and ethics.

Join five panelists for a community conversation on key solutions for North Carolina.

Panelists include:

  • Gemale A. Black, President of Salisbury-Rowan NAACP
  • Edgar Miller, Yadkin Riverkeeper
  • Jennifer Roberts, 58th Mayor of Charlotte
  • Jeffrey Robbins, Executive Director, CleanAIRE NC
  • Mercedes Quesada-Embid, Catawba College Associate Professor of Environmental Policy and Advocacy
