Why

The Climate Justice Program will create measurable change for racial justice and inclusion by supporting and developing FNPOC talent as well as organisational and Climate Movement capacity.

The Climate sector struggles with cultural safety, recruitment and retention of FNPOC talent, and meaningful representation in leadership. 

FNPOC in the Climate sector struggle with racial injustice: cultural unsafety, lack of leadership opportunities or outright exclusion. 

As a result, organisations are far less impactful, failing to harness talents and experience of FNPOC, nor to meaningfully work with communities of colour towards Climate Justice.

Democracy in Colour will open doors for FNPOC talent, supporting their professional and lived experience expertise to represent our communities, lead and build real power towards Climate Justice in climate organisations.

How

The Climate Justice Program provides:

• In-depth training to support on-the-job learning and up-skilling, build up resilience, Climate Justice practices and professional confidence; a majority of training is delivered by FNPOC expert facilitators.
• Professional mentoring by Senior FNPOC mentors to build leadership capacity, skills and knowledge
• Peer to Peer coaching, support, collaboration, solidarity and safety for sharing common lived experiences and meeting challenges

Culturally safe, nurturing and productive spaces and experiences are actively embedded in the program to provide participants with a powerful, connected, validating, and  transformative experience.

Key to the program’s success is that we work with participants and their workplaces to build anti-oppression and racial justice cultures rooted in equity, justice and fairness.
