Join us for an engaging webinar series where we delve into the critical links between climate, the environment—including oceans, forests, and other geographical landscapes—and governance. We will examine the impact of poorly regulated industries and inadequate law enforcement on the climate crisis, and brainstorm viable solutions to mitigate its consequences.
Featuring Pulitzer Center stories, our discussions will bring together journalists, leaders from environmental and social movements, policymakers, and affected communities. This platform is designed to foster critical conversations on some of the most pressing and emerging issues of our time.
Insights generated from these webinars will be further explored during our in-person workshop in Brazil on December 5-6. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of a transformative dialogue that aims to inspire change and drive action.
