Nonprofits Urged to Address Climate Change Amidst Increasing Environmental Challenges
Nonprofit organizations across the United States are being called to integrate climate justice into their missions as climate change continues to exacerbate environmental and social challenges. Recent years have seen a rise in extreme weather events, such as wildfires in the West, hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, and heatwaves in the Pacific Northwest. These events have strained agricultural production and supply chains nationwide. Marginalized communities, including low-income groups, racial minorities, and LGBTQ+ individuals, are disproportionately affected due to systemic inequalities. Nonprofit leaders emphasize the need for organizations to address climate change impacts on the communities they serve, regardless of their primary mission.
