Which is more urgent, climate action or social equity?
Systemic inequalities are exacerbating the impacts of climate change on overlooked communities, but the work between climate action and inclusion is inherently linked. By investing in climate solutions that center equity, we invest in better outcomes for all Canadians.
Do you know where your funding flows?
Data equity, aimed at making sure intersectionalities are represented more inclusively in datasets, may be a key component in helping capital deployers flow capital (grants and investments) more equitably. Alongside the profit opportunities, there are tangible social benefits.
Can we talk about climate action and abundance?
Reframing scarcity as an opportunity could help make progress on climate action. We can look to the economic benefits of inclusion to support the conversation.
Can we wait 200 years to achieve gender equity?
The data we have show that women and gender minorities remain underfunded and underrepresented across the capital spectrum. There are specific tools that can help us make progress.
