Forum and B Lab U.S. & Canada recently co-published the Business Guide to Advancing Climate Justice, a guide designed for businesses that are working to address the climate crisis by using equity-centered solutions. 💡 In the guide, we asked community members what climate justice means to them and about their experiences with business, to understand where there has been harm through action or inaction and to identify opportunities for future action. 📩 Download the Business Guide to Advancing Climate Justice to hear more wisdom from frontline community efforts and practical guidance for the private sector to take concrete climate justice action in partnership with communities. https://lnkd.in/gmdc6pdt #ClimateJustice #Climate #Business #Guide #Download

For more than three years, Tamarack’s Community Climate Transitions (CCT) network has been supporting community-led climate action that builds more just and equitable futures. Through our work with municipalities, community organizations, resident-led groups, and others forming cross-sector coalitions, we have learned a lot about what it takes to address the climate crisis in a collaborative way that ensures no one is left behind. We’re excited to launch 10: A Guide for Advancing Climate Equity Through Place-Based Collaboration, which brings together two principles of CCT’s work with 70+ members since 2021: climate action is incomplete without addressing the inequities of the climate crisis in our communities, and place-based partnerships are a natural fit for advancing climate equity. The guide includes: ❓Questions to reflect upon to assess how ready you are to advance climate equity through place-based collaboration in your community 💭 Ideas for how to take local climate action in an equitable, collaborative way 🌇 Stories of communities across Turtle Island that serve as inspiration for your work and much more. You can access the guide in English here: https://hubs.li/Q02KmnKz0 and in French here: https://hubs.li/Q02Km9kj0 #climateequity #climatetransition #climateaction

Communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis have been already creating solutions that are effective, long-lasting and equitable. That is why we are thrilled to announce the launch of our Climate Justice Solutions Storybank. It serves as a resource, highlighting how individuals and groups are mobilizing, driving change, and achieving transformative outcomes. It also showcases inspiring examples of how communities are actively creating the world we want to build – a world where climate justice is achieved through community-led solutions. We know that people have the power to create change, and we hope that each of these stories sparks the imagination and collaboration needed to bring climate justice solutions to life everywhere.

💛 🙌 💛 Love these kinds of stories, and moreover, story collections like these! Climate change is huge and it's so easy to feel small and alone trying to face it, or like your drops in the bucket aren't enough. But we are not alone, and collections spotlighting a diversity of grassroots and community stories of change remind us of that. On a grand scale, stories are the foundation of transformative change because they help us, collectively, imagine what a just, healthy, liberated world can look like. But just as importantly, they keep us in community as we strive to make this vision a reality. Stories are like the "extracellular matrix" of society -- they fortify us and help us imagine another world and connect with others fighting for it. And together we push forward.
