The world is at a tipping point in the climate crisis, and while the consequences of this crisis have profound effects on all people, the burdens of climate change are not distributed equally. Instead, underserved populations, often low-income and people of color, face the brunt of climate disasters and can be more susceptible to risks posed by climate impacts.

SWAHA Foundation supports groups and movements that mobilize and advocate on behalf of the communities facing the inequitable outcomes of climate change. Approaches to tackling climate justice issues include issue area education, raising awareness, providing resources needed for climate adaptation, and leveraging policy as a tool to protect and support these communities.
