Sustaining All Life and United to End Racism at Climate Week 2020
Sustaining All Life and United to End Racism will present eleven workshops, six forums, and two introductory classes at Climate Week this year.
When COP26 [the twenty-sixth United Nations conference on climate change] was postponed from November 2020 to November 2021, Climate Week—in New York City, USA—was announced for September 21 to 27 of this year. Climate Week had accepted all our events last year, and we didn’t want to miss an opportunity to do our events again, online this time.
It has taken a tremendous amount of work to change our events from in-person at a big conference to online for the world. We are holding some practice sessions for the RC Community to see how best to use Zoom for communicating RC to new people.
Thank you to the several hundred climate warriors (leaders, organizers, interpreters, tech people, typists, and others) who worked together to make our participation possible.
Below are our events for Climate Week (which will have happened just before this Present Time goes to press):
