BIPOC-Forward Climate Events

From Monday, February 17 through Sunday, February 23, The Solutions Project (TSP) is hosting the fifth annual 'Black Climate Week,' a campaign designed to emphasize the role of Black leaders in advancing sustainable solutions to the climate crisis. The initiative aims to raise awareness about the importance of Black-led environmental efforts, which continue to thrive in communities across the country.

Black Climate Week has gained significant momentum over the years. Last year, "the campaign reached nearly 150 million people, with a wide range of organizations participating across the U.S." This year, the event has expanded beyond online engagement, with nonprofit organizations in the South and the city of Newark, New Jersey, hosting in-person events. The goal of Black Climate Week is to foster greater recognition of the diverse, grassroots climate solutions that are essential to a sustainable future.
