Webcast #17: Mark Belton (Charles County, Maryland)

Building Capacity and Assisting Those Least Able to Help Themselves

#ClimateJustice

A key component of climate advocacy is Building Capacity, meaning developing in leaders the ability to make good, climate-focused decisions. A major effort has been the Climate Leadership Academy, which Mark helped to develop, and staff from Charles County Government have been one of the largest groups to complete the Academy. Another theme of this discussion will be how climate impacts minority populations of society greater than majority populations, and other environmental justice issues.
