Natural Start Webinar: Inside the Nature Gap Report
Inside the Nature Gap Report: A Conversation for Early Childhood Professionals
Tuesday, November 17 | 3:00 PM ET / 12:00 PM PT
Free | Online
Building on the landmark 2020 report, a new Nature Gap analysis from Conservation Science Partners, the Center for American Progress, and Justice Outside measures both where natural areas have been lost and how severely. The findings are clear: the nature gap persists, and communities with the least access to nature often face the greatest exposure to pollution and climate risks.
Join Natural Start and Rena Payan, Chief Program Officer at Justice Outside, for a look at what the report means for our field. Participants will:
- Get an overview of the report’s key findings on race, income, health, and climate risk
- Explore how nature loss affects children’s health, well-being, and connection to the natural world
- Reflect on what the findings mean for your own program, community, and practice
- Hear examples of community-led efforts to close the nature gap
The webinar will be held live on Tuesday, November 17 at 3:00 PM ET and the recording will be made available within a week following the live event.
