How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Centering Women's Lived Experience in Climate Solutionsmethodology: feminist-knowledge-curationBy amplifying the lived experiences and leadership of women and marginalized communities, we produce more effective and equitable climate solutions because these perspectives are essential to understanding systemic inequities and identifying resilient, community-driven responses.
- Co-Production of Knowledge for Climate Justicemethodology: co-production_of_knowledgeBy bridging scientific research with local ecological knowledge and oral histories, we produce adaptive climate responses because integrating diverse epistemologies democratizes knowledge and strengthens community ownership of solutions.
- Participatory Art-Science Integration for Community Empowermentmethodology: participatory art-science integrationBy integrating participatory art practices with scientific research and storytelling, we enhance community resilience and empower local stakeholders because creative engagement bridges cultural and scientific understanding and fosters deeper connection to climate action.
- Structural Analysis as Root Cause Interventionmethodology: structural-ideational analysisBy analyzing ideologies such as patriarchy, white supremacy, and capitalism as root causes of environmental harm, we produce transformative climate action because systemic change requires dismantling the interlocking systems that drive both social inequality and ecological degradation.
