GF2022 - September 20-23
(Invite-only Workshop)
Co-convened by the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory™ at Arizona State University and The Earth League, GF22 will bring together members of the public and private sectors, scientists, youth and activists from around the globe to formulate a bold and actionable agenda to push the boundaries of discourse on what can and must be done now.

1:30 - 3:15pm:
Session One: Healthy Democracy, Healthy Planet: How Environmental Groups Can Address the Unjust Impacts of the Inflation Reduction Act and the Politics that Produced Them
Passage of the IRA legislation re-ignited a fierce debate within the climate and environment movements. Many environmental organizations rushed to celebrate and embrace the Act while other critical voices, primarily Black, Brown, and Indigenous leaders, sounded alarms that the fossil fuel provisions would sacrifice frontline communities. This session will use the IRA as a critical case study to discuss the importance of racial equity at the federal level and on boards and senior leadership of environmental, climate and conservation organizations.
3:45 - 5:30pm:
Session Two: Assessing the America the Beautiful and Justice 40 Initiatives: Ensuring that the Reality Matches the Rhetoric and Climate Finance Centers Equity
As the strategy and implementation of initiatives such as America the Beautiful and Justice 40 are being negotiated, attendees will have the opportunity to discuss how to catalyze a paradigm shift in the environmental movement that results in more equitable distribution of access, resources, and influence.
