Climate Justice

In this Climate Justice newsletter, we echo the motto of this year’s recently wrapped Climate Week: “We can. We will.” Tens of thousands gathered in New York City late last month guided by this ethos, with optimism and energy for the future. Today we focus on people, organizations, and communities tapping their determination and creativity to find climate solutions and thrive through a just transition. First, a conversation with Heather McTeer Toney about her new book Before the Streetlights Come On celebrates the power of Black women in the fight for climate justice. Next, we offer action steps for philanthropic funders to support equitable climate solutions in rural communities. Then, an organization in Brooklyn is bringing the first community-owned solar project to New York City. Finally, our fall climate justice issue of the magazine—How Do We Create Home in the Future?—is out now!
