Green Leadership Trust’s latest report, Breaking Barriers: Overcoming Financial & Cultural Challenges to Environmental Board Representation, explores the systemic barriers People of the Global Majority (PGM) face in board service—and how compensation can be a game-changer for advancing equity and inclusion in the sector. At a time when diversity, equity, and inclusion are under attack, this conversation is more urgent than ever. We’re bringing together lead researcher Ashley Bernal (ProInspire) and members of the report’s advisory committee, including Clara Fang, Ph.D (Oasis: A Green Equity Collective) for a critical discussion led by GLT’s Communications and Advocacy Committee Chair, Tykee James ??

Thanks RBF for amplifying our work! We at Green Leadership Trust feel the “fierce urgency of now” and are honored to have the support of RBF and others as we deepen our collective work to center justice and build a more equitable world.
"Practices of exclusion keep the environmental profession from achieving its highest potential: healing and sustaining all communities." Since 2013, Green Leadership Trust has pushed for greater inclusivity by placing people of color and Indigenous people on the boards of U.S. environmental organizations and built a network to support them. This structural intervention aims to shape a durable environmental movement that consistently engages communities most effected by climate change and environmental degradation.

Congrats to GLT member, Amos White for being named one of this year’s Grist Fixers!
Climate Fiction Creative Manager and Brand Community Partnerships Manager at Grist Magazine
Congratulations Amos White. You're a Grist 50 Fixer now. "Amos White remembers the day his preschool class ventured across the street to collect helicopter seeds that had fallen from a sugar maple tree and nestle them into egg cartons. “You never forget the first tree you planted,” White said. That tree still stands behind his childhood home in Bexley, Ohio." https://lnkd.in/euxa3QyE #trees #climate #green
