Center for Ecosocial Policy

From neighborhood classrooms to city hall: we turn community knowledge into climate policy and practice. We work toward a just and livable future through climate adaptation that transforms the systems driving ecological and social harm.

Our Model: The Pipeline

Learn → Organize → Plan → Implement → Evaluate.
We equip communities with practical climate knowledge, organize that knowledge into policy priorities, co-design policy with partners, and help implement and evaluate those policies so they deliver real, equitable outcomes.

Why “Ecosocial”?

Climate risk is never “just” environmental—-it’s social. Effective adaptation requires systems of productive infrastructure and care: cooling and flood projects and income support, housing, health, and worker protections. We aim to design this whole-system response with those most affected, aligning mitigation, adaptation, and social policy so communities can thrive.

Ecosocial Collective unites education, organizing, and policy implementation so communities can adapt—fairly, fast, and for the long term.
