Agents of Change Project Reflections and Resources Webinar
Agents of Change Project Reflections and Resources Webinar
Wednesday April 12, 2023 | 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm ET | Online
ICLEI Canada’s Agents of Change Project helped participating municipalities conceptualize impactful local volunteer programs tailored to their community and climate mitigation and/or adaptation goals. Through a collaborative cohort model, participants explored key considerations like governance structures, partnership models, recruitment techniques, Indigenous engagement, inclusion and equity, approaches to social media, and more.
In this webinar, select participants talked about the climate engagement volunteer programs they built as part of this project, shared reflections, and answered questions while ICLEI Canada staff shared resources available to help local governments engage community members in municipal climate action. Watch the replay to learn how three municipalities from across Canada built climate engagement volunteer programs to support municipal climate goals, and discover resources to help you do the same in your community.
