Climate Change and Hunger: Ontario Spring Justice Workshops

With Carol Thiessen, CFGB Public Policy Advisor



Have you ever considered how climate change affects hunger around the world? Carol Thiessen will help participants explore the connections between climate change and hunger by asking tough questions and offering her ideas on solutions. She will also look at what Canadians can do to help those most affected.




Carol's perspective is informed by her recent work in Zimbabwe and Mozambique, where she met with farmers and attended workshops on the relationship between climate change and hunger.


All are welcome! No prior knowledge of the CFGB, food justice, or climate change is necessary. There is no registration. Please bring a main course or dessert item to share at the potluck suppers. These potluck suppers will begin with a short reflection: “food is a sacred gift”.
