With our grant partners, funders, and Council of Advisors, CJRF has invested significantly in learning from our work over the past six years. Recently, we reflected on some of these learnings, drawing from our blogs, webinars, workshops, and grant partners’ reports.
In this Op-ed for Alliance Magazine, CJRF Director Heather McGray explains why the Fund believes it makes sense for people on the frontlines of the climate crisis to hold the decision-making power over climate action.
As part of our commitment to generate learning from our portfolio, CJRF is piloting a new space for partners to learn from and connect with one another. Under the umbrella of the CJRF Learning Program, this new CJRF Solution Series enables partners to share lessons, challenges, and impactful outcomes of their work with the CJRF community, funders, and other climate practitioners.
In October, we posted the first excerpt from “Existing Within and Between: A Script on Climate Action & Intersectionality.” This script uses a play format to creatively explore the state of the intersectionality conversation in the climate justice community of practice. This is the second of four scenes.
Over the next few months, we will be posting excerpts from “Existing Within and Between: A Script on Climate Action & Intersectionality.” This script uses a play format to creatively explore the state of the intersectionality conversation in the climate justice community of practice.
As the climate changes, people and societies will need to respond more often to extreme and stressful weather, and will need to strengthen their ability to contend with frequent disruption. People often call this “climate resilience.” On June 15, 2021, CJRF grantee partners convened virtually to explore what "resilience means and critiques of using this word in a panel entitled “Exploring Resilience in the Context of Climate Justice.”
