Climate Justice

Billions of dollars of investment to confront environmental, social, and climate-related challenges being faced by Gulf Coast communities present a unique opportunity to address historic injustices and increase quality of life for all citizens of affected communities. The Climate Justice Action Table will invest in citizens and government who are reimagining and reshaping their communities by enabling and promoting civic engagement including community action ( Direct participation, organizing, and planning), equity and social justice, progressive civic infrastructure. Areas of collaboration in 2017 will focus on workforce development, and the training of youth and vulnerable populations for opportunities in the emerging water economy.
