The KTCC Toolkit

Climate Fast has prepared the KTCC Facilitator Guide and Presenter Slides as a resource to support and encourage climate activists to engage with others and build the growing climate justice movement to prompt action on the climate emergency. The Guide and the Slides contain materials created by Climate Fast as well as materials created by third parties. Climate Fast encourages you to use these resources for the purposes for which they were created and request that they be properly cited and credited, or get additional permission from third parties, if needed. You are welcome to adapt materials created by Climate Fast to better serve their stated purpose. Neither Climate Fast nor the KTCC team is responsible for the way any resources are adapted or used.
