Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Centering Health Equity and Community Voice in Climate Change acknowledges the disproportionate health impact of a warming planet on communities of color while emphasizing that genuine progress is not possible without addressing structural racism more broadly. The existential threats of climate change are compounded by biased environmental policy and the inequities that reflect racial segregation, generational poverty, economic disinvestment, and violence. Four primary power-influencing structures were identified through a community-informed process of inquiry: electoral justice, economic justice, power and decision-making authority, and narrative. To make their most effective contributions, enlightened funders must consider their own internal systems and culture, reimagine their conception of evidence, build trust, and share power.</jats:p>
