Demystifying Data
Join us November 23, 2023
via video conference
As a part of the National Climate League's data collection campaign, you're invited to join us for an interactive learning session on demystifying data for the general public. In collaboration with guest facilitators from Open North, a non-profit working on data governance, you will learn the basics of how local governments use data in climate decision-making and planning, progress-tracking and communicating outcomes.
The webinar includes a presentation in English (with French subtitles) followed by interactive breakout groups in French and in English.
NCL data collection campaign
This session is open to anyone, however it is also part of training for the National Climate League's data collection campaign. Interested in learning about the National Climate League and how you can join this participatory, volunteer-led data collection project tracking municipal climate action?
Demystifying Data
We'll discuss how data can be turned from something intimidating or incomprehensible into a tool to be wielded by everyone fighting for ambitious, justice-based climate action!
From measuring greenhouse gas emissions to tracking local air quality as wildfire seasons intensify, data can be complex but it is also a critical component in all climate mitigation and adaptation activities.
