The Southern Black Girls and Women's Consortium launched the Environment and Climate Justice Fund during Black Climate Week 2026 to support organizations advocating for environmental and climate justice for Black girls, women, and femme-identifying youth in the South. By investing in these organizations, the fund aims to build climate resilience in communities most affected by environmental pollution and climate change. Emphasizing joy as both resilience and resistance, the initiative seeks to create a future where communities have the resources and power to thrive amid climate challenges. This focus on centering Black women and girls in climate solutions highlights the importance of addressing environmental injustices in marginalized communities.
