At a time when environmental policy, regulations, research, and budgets face unprecedented and systemic attacks, new climate coalitions are emerging,  from local neighborhoods to the global stage. These coalitions, powered by the vision and voices of communities, are advancing environmental and climate justice by bringing together policymakers, philanthropy, grassroots organizations, and academia to chart a path toward a just, thriving economy and healthy futures for all.
