New Voices

New  Voices on Climate Change is an innovative initiative of Global Justice  Ecology Project, the goal of which is to broaden the climate debate by amplifying the voices of peoples around the world who are  already being impacted by climate change. In doing so, the initiative  will:

1) Empower peoples and communities already being  impacted by climate change by promoting their stories throughout the world.
2) Empower people to become active  in the climate movement by humanizing and personalizing climate change,  which is otherwise an often daunting, disempowering and abstract  problem.

New Voices on Climate Change is funded through generous grants from the New Visions Foundation and the Rachel and Ben Vaughan Foundation.
