 Capacity Global ..living in a clean and healthy environment is everyone's right

21 Years On - Diversity and the Environment Movement,
18th September - 10.00am - 1.00pm  - Coin Street, London


Capacity Global will be launching  '21 Years On: Environment and Diversity'  report and manifesto. Professor Julian Agyeman , one of our Advisory Board Members and Professor and Chair, Department of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning, Tufts University, will be the keynote speaker.

As part of the Every Action Counts programme, Capacity Global was commissioned to work on diversity,
 environment and sustainable development. The report is now completed and illustrates that 21 years on from one of the first conferences on diversity in the environment sector we need to build on the work that has been done to date and develop a future plan of action.

On the basis of the report Capacity Global will be launching a report and 'manifesto' of action required by the sector to include: BAME's (Black, Asian, and Ethnic minorities), disabled people and young people.  Baring in mind the need for collective action in a multi cultural society to tackle climate change putting  the issue of inclusion on the environmental agenda is crucial.  The launch of the report will take place at the seminar  in London on the 18th September, COIN Street, Conference Centre.
