Just Transition PowerForce

The Just Transition PowerForce brings together environmental and climate justice leaders from across the US to align the climate commitments of corporations toward deep investments in the sustainability and climate resilience of frontline communities, enabling self-determination, economic security, and restorative and transformative justice. We collaborate in pursuit of a just transition from an extractive economy to a regenerative economy that shifts major sectors of the economy – energy, food, water, waste, infrastructure – to be green, healthy, economically just, and democratic. The Just Transition PowerForce was launched by Emerald Cities Collaborative and the NAACP Environmental and Climate Justice Program in relationship with Microsoft Cloud Operations & Innovation (CO+I), the team responsible for Microsoft datacenter operations. The Just Transition PowerForce includes more than a dozen organizations leading the movement for a Just Transition in frontline communities across the United States and continues to be administered by Emerald Cities Collaborative.
