Our solutions to the climate crisis go far beyond carbon reduction and greenhouse gas mitigation. They are rooted in community stewardship and governance of water, energy, and land.
To do this, our work is rooted in three core solutions:
Repair
acknowledge and repair our relationships
Power
root in the power of frontline communities and align movements
Stewardship
Invest in FRONTLINE communities' leadership
To advance these solutions, Taproot Earth:
Designs and Convenes rooted in Black joy, creativity, vision, and solutions
Resources and Implements for Black Liberation and community -centered climate justice
Documents and Replicates to seed and share solutions
Initiatives & PROGRAMS
Taproot Earth's primary initiatives are:
Global Climate Reparations
Our approach to the climate crisis recognizes the historic and modern harms of racialized capitalism. Our initiative brings frontlines together to eradicate debt, invest in practices of repair and restoration, redistribute resources, uphold the human right to remain and migrate, and rebuild governance and financial systems to align with a climate justice vision.
We work with communities to identify what’s at stake and develop just pathways toward community-governance of water, energy, and land. Building on work advanced by the Gulf Coast Center for Law and Policy, we bring a frontline lens to legal analysis, participatory research, and just climate policy strategies.
