The Carbon Copy Book Club

Why? Working on solving the climate crisis asks of all of us to stay curious and engaged in the midst of fast-paced changes. When pursuing impact and results, it can become hard to take time for reading, thinking deeply and exchanging ideas with peers.
The Carbon Copy Book Club aims to connect climate change professionals, give us a structure to read more widely about climate change and provide us the opportunity for a feel-good reset:  take a step back, a deep breath, and give into our love for books, together.
How? We will:

- Pick how much or how little we want to read out of 3 books every quarter - Meet online to discuss the book - Spend most of the time discussing the book with peers, with the help of thought-provoking prompts

What? I hope that by participating, you will:

- Make a meaningful connection with someone new - See one piece (or many) of your work from a different angle - Feel nourished, refreshed and inspired
Which books?

Who am I?

Hey there! I'm Katherine. I work on climate change strategies, solutions and programs, and I'm an economist. I love to design tweaks - and strategize leaps - to existing systems for better climate outcomes, and I believe solving climate change will need all of us, connected, wired and engaged. I'm from Montreal, and I now live in Japan.
