Twitter Chat: Can climate action drive economic recovery? Join #OurClimateJourney

We have long made the argument that taking action on climate change has long term economic benefits. This argument has borne fruit for companies and the economy at large. However, we now find ourselves in unprecedented times. Does our argument still hold water? How can companies find the balance between staying afloat and maintaining progress on their climate journey? How can we maintain progress on climate AND rebuild a stronger, resilient economy?

Please join @SouthPoleGlobal on Twitter to discuss these questions and more in a one hour "Twitter Chat" on Thursday, May 28th!

New to Twitter Chats? We'll have a set of 10 questions which are asked of our featured panelists in real time over one hour; they'll then respond with answers and you can chime in too. Each question and each answer will be marked with a number (For example - Q1, Q2 .. A1, A2). You can follow along and reply directly to South Pole or the panelists, or start your own tweet response using the same format to associate to the question. The main thing: Don't forget to add #OurClimateJourney to each tweet you send!
