About this grant
The Public Sector Leadership Support strategy is part of the Kresge Foundation's Environment Program, which helps cities combat and adapt to climate change while advancing racial and economic justice. This strategy specifically works to accelerate the efforts of public-sector leaders whose work is critical to advancing an equitable climate action agenda. The Environment Program operates on the belief that cities should simultaneously work on limiting climate change and preparing for its effects, with a particular focus on ensuring that community voices—especially those from lower-income neighborhoods and communities of color—lead climate decisions at city, state, and federal levels. The program supports efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, prepare for unavoidable climate impacts, and advance social cohesion and equity. Public Sector Leadership Support sits alongside other initiatives and strategies including Climate Change, Health and Equity; Climate Resilient and Equitable Water Systems; Equitable & Just Energy Transition; Climate Justice Movement Support; and Community Development Climate Finance Ecosystem.
