Our Programs
Sustainable Energy
To mitigate the long-term harm of the climate crisis, we must rapidly transition away from fossil fuels and toward a clean, resilient, and just energy system. This transition must prioritize affordability, sustainability, and workforce development, particularly for those communities most harmed by the extractive fossil fuel economy.
Healthy Communities
Thriving communities require a safe, clean environment and access to essential resources. Further, communities are safest when the people in those communities are connected to the land and to each other. To build resilience against climate change and environmental injustice, we support natural spaces and a safe and healthy environment.
People-Powered Futures
Building a just and sustainable future requires investing in people—ensuring that communities have the power to shape environmental policy, access economic opportunities, and lead the transition to a green economy. We support Eco-leadership, a healthy democracy and workforce pathways.
