Want to help fight climate change AND poverty? Then join Oxfam on March 12th for Climate Change and Communities. You’ll learn about the links between climate change and poverty and the small steps you can take to make a big difference. Guest speakers Meena Raman of Friends of the Earth International/Malaysia and Joyce Patience Tembenu of Malawi will inform listeners of the effects of climate change on their own communities as well as efforts to develop local and global solutions. Their combined experience includes decades of groundbreaking social justice work, such as the founding of the first public interest law firm in Malaysia, and the development and implementation of community-based programs to address food security, HIV/AIDS, and women’s rights in Malawi. Come hear what they have to say and leave with an understanding of how you can help ensure that the poorest and most vulnerable communities will have access to the financial and technological resources needed to adapt to climate change. Climate Change and Communities is a project of the Climate Equity Campaign which includes Action Aid, Friends of the Earth, Oil Change International, Oxfam America, and US Climate Action Network.
