From leading conservation projects that protect their ancestral territories to advocating for sustainable practices and environmental justice, Indigenous women have long been at the forefront of shaping the environmental movement. However, recognition of their leadership and their representation in decision-making roles within environmental organizations is lacking. Join Green 2.0 for a conversation with Indigenous women who are leading sustainability and environmental justice efforts in their communities for a discussion on creating practices and policies that allow Indigenous women to thrive.

The Green 2.0 Environmental Experts of Color Database addresses a pressing issueāthe lack of diversity in experts providing testimony in the policymaking process nationally and locally. The database provides policymakers, organizations, and individuals with an expansive set of environmental and environmental justice leaders, and offers a more representative perspective on these issues. Join us for the launch of the database to hear from key experts and policymakers about how we can implement practices and policies that build a more inclusive set of experts in the environmental sector.

A long and living history of colonialism in the U.S. territories has created circumstances where those most impacted by climate change and natural disasters have the least say in decision-making about their livelihoods and futures. Destructive federal policies have fractured communities from their rightful access to the resources necessary to address these challenges, but movements to turn this tide have been creating meaningful change. Leaders of color in these places are working to create a future that ensures programs and policies are implemented that target climate change and address racial/ethnic, economic, and environmental justice.
