Strategy 2030 | Impact Areas

Climate Justice

Communities shape and build climate resilience through locally-led adaptation.

About

Climate justice means taking action to prevent and adapt to climate change in ways that remedy inequity, so everyone can live a dignified life - no matter the climate. This means placing those most affected at the centre of resilience efforts.

As a community foundation focused on the major challenges of our time, we recognise the need to support long-term change while also addressing immediate risks. We link community-led resilience efforts with the policy and structural changes needed for a just future.

We work with communities and community organisations that put justice at the centre of climate action. Together, we share examples of possible futures where everyone can thrive and live with dignity, regardless of the climate.
