Why to Take a Systems Approach'
August 11, 1- 2 PM ET

Dear John,

We are pleased to invite you to webinar on Tuesday, August 11, at 1 PM EST to discuss how systems thinking can be an essential tool for business leaders and policymakers worldwide to analyze the intersection between climate change and COVID-19.

REGISTER

The objective of this webinar will be to highlight how COVID-19, climate change, and economics should be treated as interrelated issues, which means to address any one of them you must address all of them.

COVID-19 has shown one damaging side effect of climate change and has highlighted the cracks within our systems. Not only have small businesses nationwide felt the economic shocks, but the burden of the disease falls most heavily on low-income communities and communities of color. The pandemic has previewed what the future may look like if aggressive action is not taken to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions and environmental degradation worldwide. 

We hope that you will join us in this important discussion on a crucial topic. 

Speakers include: 

Victoria Kiechel — Faculty member in the Global Environmental Politics program in the School of International Service at American University in Washington, DC, teaching such courses as Climate Resilient Cities, Environmental Sustainability and Global Health, and practicums on migrants and migration.

Jeffrey Hollender — CEO & Co-founder ASBC. He was co-founder and CEO of Seventh Generation, which he built into a leading natural product brand known for its authenticity, transparency, and progressive business practices.
