Simon Fraser University Public Square is hosting a free virtual event Wednesday, May 19 called “Researching for Climate Justice” that brings together climate justice advocates, researchers, policy-makers and solution-seekers to discuss the challenges and opportunities of taking equity-informed approaches to climate research, solutions and policy development.
