Teacher Leading Discussion

Join the movement shaping the next generation of Black climate leaders.

HBCU Climate Ventures invites leading organizations, innovators, researchers, and climate-focused institutions to co-create transformational learning experiences for HBCU students across the country. Through three-week accelerators, global speaker sessions, and hands-on engagement, partners play a critical role in expanding access to climate innovation, circularity, and justice-centered solutions. By participating, your organization helps empower emerging Black climate leaders, strengthens the national climate workforce pipeline, and fuels programming across HBCU Climate Week and the full HBCU Climate Ventures ecosystem.
