Social Change for Climate Change

Can we really tackle climate change without social change?

While climate change is a pressing social issue, in Singapore (and perhaps the world), it still seems like an issue separate from the rest of society. But is it? What social changes do we need to see before we can unite society to care about climate change?

Come together with other like-minded social changemakers for an afternoon of ideation and experience sharing, as we draw the connections around what we as a society need to care about more and the relationship that links different social issues to climate change.
