Through sharing her experience at UN Climate Conferences (COPs), involvement in global climate justice organizations, and more recent work as the Legislative and Political Specialist at the Sierra Club Maine Chapter, Ania Wright will seek to answer what connects global to local efforts, and why paying attention to the bigger picture of climate justice is vital to accomplishing our climate goals in Maine.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><strong>Ania Wright<\/strong> joined Sierra Club in 2020 as a Grassroots Organizer, and now works as the Legislative and Political Specialist.
