Frontline Resource Institute Climate Justice Hub
The strongest climate solutions are built with the people most affected by climate and environmental challenges.
The Climate Justice Hub brings together frontline leaders, advocates, policymakers, researchers, funders, students and other changemakers to build the partnerships needed to advance durable, equitable climate solutions worldwide. Join the Frontline Resource Institute at Environmental Defense Fund for practical conversations, shared learning, and cross-sector collaboration as we explore how integrating frontline leadership into climate decision making leads to better outcomes for people and the planet.
