Speaker series event focuses on climate action

The City of Kitchener, in collaboration with the Waterloo Region Small Business Centre (WRSBC), hosts a free monthly speaker series, called SDG Talks, to explore the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and how we, as individuals, can help create a more socially and environmentally sustainable planet. We bring together entrepreneurs and organizations who use business as a force for good.

This month, we will explore Sustainable Development Goal 13, climate action. Join us as we host a diverse group of panelists with different experiences connected to the topic of climate action. These panelists will offer inspiring insights on how we as individuals can make a positive impact on our planet by limiting the effects of climate change. Join us for an evening of engaging conversation, networking and light refreshments as we discuss what we can all do to take action against climate change.

This event will take place on Tuesday, April 18 from 5:30 - 8:30 p.m. at the new space for the Waterloo Region Small Business Centre (2 King St. W., Downtown Kitchener). All are welcome to attend. To register for this session, visit SDGSpeakerSeries.eventbrite.ca. If you have any questions, or require accommodation, please email info@waterlooregionsmallbusiness.ca.

Over the next year, the City of Kitchener and community partners will invite speakers to present topics related to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals as part of a series of seventeen sessions to raise awareness and accountability for the goals. Topics for future sessions will be announced closer to the session dates.
