Thriving Planet Emission Reductions or Policy Revisions: Which Is The Outdoor Industry’s Best Opportunity For Climate Impact?
Thriving Planet Emission Reductions or Policy Revisions: Which Is The Outdoor Industry’s Best Opportunity For Climate Impact?
Climate change was the biggest crisis facing humankind before the coronavirus and it will be even bigger after the pandemic. But given our shrinking window of opportunity to halt and reverse rising global temperatures and our finite resources (human, financial, collective will), is it more important for individuals and business to reduce and offset greenhouse gas emissions, or to advocate for meaningful progress on climate policy? Given the outdoor industry’s proximity to climate change impacts — disruptive weather events, shifting consumer expectations and supply chain risks — as well as our uniquely credible and authentic commitment to building back better, where should we concentrate our collective impact? Join us as we explore that question in a lively session that seeks to unpack the complexities of the action versus advocacy debate, and offer practical opportunities to get engaged in both.
