The climate crisis is one of the greatest threats facing humanity. In response, Columbia University established the nation's first climate school in 2020 to educate future climate leaders, support groundbreaking research, and foster essential climate solutions from the community to the planetary scale.
BIPOC Climate Justice Summit: Power Shift
This summit aims to catalyze global collaboration to drive progress on climate justice, particularly across the following themes:
- The Power Shift – Elevating frontline leadership, movement diplomacy, and community mandates in the lead-up to COP30 and beyond.
- The Knowledge Shift – Confronting extractive systems of science, law, and philanthropy while uplifting collective wisdom and decolonized knowledge.
- ️The Policy Shift – Exploring how local and federal governments can redistribute power through participatory governance and justice-centered decision-making.
- The System Shift – Grounding climate justice in reparations, mutual aid, land back, and regenerative practices led by BIPOC communities.
- Mutual Aid as Strategy – Highlighting mutual aid not as charity, but as a foundational, reparative practice and organizing model for a just climate future.
