OAKLAND, Calif. —  In celebration of Black History Month, the nonprofit The Solutions Project is hosting the first-ever Black Climate Week, today through Sunday, February 28. Throughout the week, The Solutions Project will publish a series of multimedia resources on its website and social media channels celebrating the extraordinary contributions of Black solutionaries advancing science and climate justice.

“Black Climate Week shines a celebratory spotlight on today’s Black climate leaders who have earned a special place in history for helping to solve the dual crises of systemic racism and climate change,” said The Solutions Project’s CEO, Gloria Walton.

This year’s debut Black Climate Week will celebrate solutionaries including:
  • Euneika Rogers-Sipp, an artist and designer who worked with agricultural landowners in the Black Belt to build Sustainable Rural Regenerative Enterprises for Families, and founded the Destination Design School of Agricultural Estates.
  • Gregory Jenkins, a professor in the Department of Meteorology at Penn State University whose areas of research include weather, climate justice, air quality and the connections to public health in West Africa.
  • The Reverend Leo Woodberry, a Southern pastor who brings clean energy jobs and projects to low-income communities while growing a coalition in support of climate and environmental justice.

The Solutions Project will publish a #BlackClimateWeek Reading List for people eager to learn more about climate justice and get involved in the climate justice movement. To see the full list of people Black Climate Week will celebrate, please click here.
