A STATEWIDE COALITION SINCE 2022
California students deserve climate-ready schools.
We are a coalition of education, climate, health, youth, labor, civil rights, and business leaders and organizations working to make every California school a site of climate resilience.
WHAT WE WORK TOWARD
School buildings and grounds as sites of climate resilience and decarbonization
A climate-resilient school shields students from the health impacts of climate change, like toxic wildfire smoke and extreme heat, and limits the climate-related disruptions that set back their learning and social-emotional development. A sustainable school also runs in a way that contributes as little as possible to the causes of climate change.
