Climate Justice Collaborative of Boulder County

The Climate Justice Collaborative (CJC) is a frontline community member-led collaborative that creates and applies a racial equity framework, shifting power structures and enacting just solutions to climate change.

The CJC fosters a potential to organize climate action across Boulder County on a greater scale, incorporating top scientists and government work with grassroots movements and community members who are historically underrepresented in thought leadership and decision making. The collaborative effort will afford the ability to identify areas of concern in a more efficient and direct manner than accomplished through traditional community outreach methods. Inherent in the approach of the CJC is the promotion and development of leaders within our community to increase the county’s overall working knowledge base in relation to equitable climate action.

Perhaps most importantly, the CJC presents an opportunity to advance the way the entire county analyzes, develops, and implements solutions to climate change in a way that continues to keep Boulder County at the leading edge in climate action.
