Dear Colleagues:
At CJRF, learning from new approaches, sharing lessons learned, and increasing understanding of how to truly advance climate justice are core to our mission. We believe that learning and exchange are central to a vibrant climate justice movement.
Since 2018, CJRF has supported dozens of learning events and field-building activities that build upon grants in our portfolio. Our grantee partners have shared many valuable insights—from the need to rethink risk tolerance as funders, to embracing complexity in local systems. Our grants also include funding for partners to engage in their own learning efforts, as you can see in our spotlight on the Global Greengrants Fund below.
Recently, we held two webinars where our partners shared lessons from their experiences building power in communities on the front lines of the climate crisis. In June, we hosted a crucial conversation on the meaning of resilience in the context of climate justice. You can read more about those events below.
As we look to the second half of 2021, we are excited to host and sponsor partner-led learning exchanges on priority themes; co-create and promote blogs and briefs on key insights; and support our partners as they tell stories that motivate action within the global community. To learn more about these activities, visit our Learning and Insights page.
We look forward to continued learning in 2021 and beyond!
All the best,
Heather and Hilary
