Climate change is a global issue that affects everyone, but its impacts are not felt equally. Vulnerable communities, including low-income households, indigenous people, and people of color, are disproportionately affected by the changing climate.
Join the Vermont Council on World Affairs on August 21st and 22nd at Hula Lakeside, in partnership with Global Ties U.S. and the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, for the 2023 Diplomacy Begins Here Summit, Building an Inclusive Climate Movement. This two-day event will explore how an inclusive and global approach to climate change can help address these disparities and create a more sustainable future for all. We will welcome expert speakers who will share their insights and provide practical solutions that can be implemented at the community level.
This event will also serve as an opportunity for community members to deepen their understanding of U.S. foreign policy, public diplomacy, how to approach problems with a global lens, and how exchange programs, such as the International Visitor Leadership Program, play a role in each.
The Summit will consist of two days of programming:
Day 1: Summit - Open to the public
Day 2: Learning Lab for the Global Ties Network – this portion is closed to the public
