Climate Justice

Center for Climate Equity and Resilience

Climate Justice means that all communities have equitable protection from environmental and health hazards and equal access to the decision-making process to have a healthy environment. 

The Center has a commitment to ensuring the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of climate legislation and policies. To advance climate justice, the Center works to enhance the capacity and effectiveness of community organizations through training and technical assistance support for grant writing, management, and implementation.
