about the event:

The work of protecting our planet and people is urgent and essential, but demanding on the people who lead it. Environmental staff can face limited resources, uncertainty, and emotional strain, all of which contribute to burnout. Organizations play a crucial role in shaping a culture that supports their teams, by creating policies and benefits that actively promote wellness from within, which can lay the foundation to create a sector that prioritizes well-being, translating to productivity and efficacy. Green 2.0 and Climate Critical hosted a conversation with leaders in the environmental sector about how we can integrate wellness into our sector so we can take care of those leading the work to support and protect all communities.
