for the Just Solutions Collective
The Just Solutions Collective, a fiscally sponsored project of Community Initiatives, broadens and deepens the understanding and implementation of equitable and effective climate policies and programs, at a scale and pace that matches the urgency of the climate crisis. The collective partners with communities disproportionately impacted by climate change to turn their priorities and ideas into policies.
