CANIE Climate Dialogues CANIE

In this episode, you’ll get to know a few of our very own CANIE members and how they built their own, mini climate learning community through books. In 2023, six CANIE members (including today’s host, Amy) came together to read a single climate-focused book together over 10 weeks. The result was such an engaging, enjoyable, learning-friendly space that we decided to make it an ongoing, climate-focused book club we’ve lovingly nicknamed the “Book Nook.” Join us for a discussion on how the Book Nook came to be, what we’ve learned along the way, and how to start your own climate-focused book club.
