SXSW 2024
Climate Justice and the Creative Industry
Description:
The DEI movement within the creative industry has made strides in recent years. From Chief Diversity Officers to ERGs to more transparency.
But, there’s a long way to go. One such area is climate justice — the intersection of the climate crisis and social & equity issues. As climate change disproportionately affects women and marginalized communities around the world, there is an opportunity for DEI allies within the creative industry and outside of it to also consider a push for a clean & sustainable future. From internal initiatives & policy to their clients & the work they do for them.
