“We were encouraging cities to start thinking about integrating climate action throughout their entire structure before that was a thing,” says Emi Do. “And now that’s become the norm.”
Do is a marketing and communications specialist at SSG, where its 30 members help decision-makers confront the climate crisis by providing services that span greenhouse gas inventories, carbon budgeting, climate mitigation and adaptation planning, scenario modelling and implementation support.
Their work emphasises meaningful community engagement, ensuring that climate strategies are not only technically robust but also socially inclusive and equitable – and centred around principles of justice and collaboration. Do believes such meaningful change has to be modelled from within.
“As society transitions to decarbonisation and centres justice, we really have to think about transforming how we work with one another,” she says. “For us, being a worker co-op is one way we’re practising new ways of interacting and collaborating.”
