Across three strategies — Clean Energy, Climate Resilience, and Mobility — we work in concert to reduce emissions, build community resilience, and elevate the leadership of those most impacted by the climate crisis. We believe that frontline communities, those most often hit first and worst by the impacts of climate change, should have the power, resources, and self-determination to shape a just, healthy, and climate-resilient future.
