Community First, Climate First Decision Making.

In every sector. At any age. Four key principles anchor community first, climate first decision-making:

 

 

Partner with the earth instead of dominating it.

 

 

 

 

Prioritize the most vulnerable people, species, and places.

 

 

Build community and connectivity to build climate resilience.

 

Use the prevention of climate change as the North Star for decision-making.
