Speakers Sean Cady, Pascal Brun, and Krelyne Andrew also joined the conversation, discussing key definitions, including climate action as the response to the climate crisis, collective action as shared responsibility, and value chain inequity as the need for equal footing across stakeholders. #CascaleAM2024 #AnnualMeeting2024 #NewEraUnifiedImpact
