Don’t Miss Two New Climate Events in November

At The Walrus Talks Gender-Based Violence, speakers ask urgent questions: How can we dispel the myths about who faces and perpetrates this violence and what stops it? What are the roles and responsibilities of workplaces in helping employees dealing with gender-based violence? With the climate crisis and other shakeups leading to a rise in abuse here and around the world—and with the proliferation of digital hate and harassment—how can we safeguard ourselves and each other?

We can all be allies to survivors of abuse and work as agents of safety and care from the ground up. Join us in Toronto, or online, to find out how.

NEW EVENT: The intersection of climate change and health in Canada is an urgent concern. As temperatures rise, Canada is witnessing an increase in heat-related illnesses, the proliferation of vector-borne diseases, and worsening air quality.

At The Walrus Talks at Home: The Health and Climate Crisis, leaders from the Canadian Medical Association, Canadian Nurses Association, Lancet International, and more will address these challenges by discussing air quality, food security, nutrition, mental health, vulnerable populations, the role of adaptation and mitigation, and global responsibility.

Join us online to learn about these organizations’ contributions to the 2023 Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change and the impact of the climate crisis on health in Canada and around the world.

NEW EVENT: Join the German Embassy and Consulates in Canada and The Walrus for a timely online discussion about the lessons and challenges of climate- and biodiversity-focused communication in Canada and Europe.

As world leaders prepare to meet at the 2023 UN Climate Change Conference, our distinguished panel of environmental journalists and climate justice advocates gathers to exchange transatlantic perspectives on Canadian, German, and EU climate policies and to share how innovative journalism and biodiversity-focused communications can break down silos and bridge divides.
