· "...a feminist, anti-colonial, marine science laboratory. This means our methods foreground
values of equity, humility, and justice. We specialize in community-based and citizen science
monitoring of plastic pollution, particularly of plastics in food webs.
Climate Accountibility Research Project (CARP)
· “...We are a network of academics, policymakers, practitioners, and civil society activists
engaged in climate justice issues. While the main focus of work is on the rapidly urbanizing
regions in the global South, our work is informed by comparative analyses that cut across the
global North-South divides.”
Climate Reframe [UK]
Community Engagement, Environmental Justice, & Health (CEEJH)
· “...a grassroots, Global South-driven initiative connecting social & climate justice struggles by
uniting labor, social and climate movements from the Global South & North toward a common
goal of turning debt-trap diplomacy on its head by canceling the debt of impoverished nations
as a way to pay for leaving fossil fuels in the ground and financing a just transition. The
implementation of a global Debt-for-Climate initiative has the potential to leave trillions of
dollars in fossil fuel reserves in the ground, while freeing countries from a strangling debt
burden often used as a tool for further extraction of natural resources.”

Environmental Justice Initiative
· “...a research project to study and contribute to the global environmental justice movement"
Global Campaign to Demand Climate Justice
· "...an initiative dedicated to increasing racial diversity across mainstream environmental NGOs,
foundations and government agencies."
Green Justice Coalition [Massachusetts]
· "To increase equity, GLT effects change at the structural level, beyond campaigns of diversity. We act
together as fiduciaries of color and indigenous peoples identifying and confronting practices of bias,
cultural preference and homogeneity, to transform the environmental sector. We do this because it is
necessary to reaffirm the narrative about who cares about the environment, who bears the burdens of
degradation, and who benefits from inclusiveness at every level. Everyone cares. Burdens are
disproportionate. Everyone benefits. Practices of exclusion keep the environmental profession from
achieving its highest potential: healing and sustaining all communities."

All have committed to 100% renewable energy — and now must commit to a just transition."
