About Rangi Changi Roots

Our Story

 

Welcome to RangiChangi Roots: Many Cultures, One Climate, formerly known as the Intercultural Alliance for Climate Action. We are a diverse group of people who are developing this alliance as a result of the 2009 climate action initiative Bridge to a Cool Planet, a one-day event in Vancouver BC that took place as a lead up to the Copenhagen Conference.

Bridge to a Cool Planet attempted to reach out to as many ethnic and cultural communities as possible. One initiative brought together a number of Vancouver’s ethno-cultural organizations for a media conference to make strong demands with one voice. And out of this mission, grew the seed for RangiChangi Roots. Essentially, we think that the transformative change needed to solve the climate crisis won’t happen unless everyone is involved.

We want to build bridges between the green movement and cultural communities in order to:

* better appreciate our shared concerns and unique situations

* collaborate more effectively in taking direct steps reduce emissions

* call on government to introduce strong laws to fight climate change

We invite you to join us in a series of public meetings taking place in downtown Vancouver to share our stories, experiences, and our collective wisdom. We look forward to meeting you soon!
