Key Problem

Climate change disproportionately impacts marginalized communities, including Black girls and their families.

 

These communities often live in high-risk areas, like flood zones or urban heat islands, and face greater economic challenges due to limited resources to adapt.

 

Climate change is not just an environmental issue—it’s deeply tied to economics, as it exacerbates wealth disparities and restricts economic mobility for vulnerable populations.

Solution and Initiative

The Black Girls Green initiative, part of the Black Girls Wealth Foundation, addresses these economic and environmental challenges.

 

By advocating for equitable climate solutions and empowering Black girls to lead in sustainability, the initiative ensures they have the tools to build resilience and participate in the growing green economy.

Why It Matters

Climate change highlights the urgent need for economic empowerment in marginalized communities.

 

The Black Girls Green initiative bridges this gap by preparing Black girls to thrive in a sustainable, future-focused economy.

 

Building environmental and economic resilience together is key to creating lasting equity and opportunity for future generations.

“We need an all-in approach to fight climate change.

“Climate change is an existential threat to America & to the world – and the Paris Agreement is an example of the progress we can make in the fight against the climate crisis.”

​

“The Federal Reserve Bank joins other central banks in the NGFS, an international network fighting climate change. This is an important move that will help the Fed incorporate the impacts of global warming on our financial system.”
