NHCM for NEW HAVEN: Climate Action Petition

New Haven Climate Movement (NHCM) is a youth-led nonprofit advocating for climate action, climate education and climate justice in New Haven by mobilizing community residents and local organizations.

Following the Board of Education's passing of the Climate Emergency Resolution (CER) in September 2022, the New Haven Climate Movement now calls on the Board of Education to:

  • Hire an energy coordinator to develop proposals, seek funding, and support energy project implementation.
  • Hire a climate education coordinator to incorporate climate and public health education across all levels and subjects.
  • Hire a permanent sustainability coordinator to support climate and public health initiatives related to healthy transportation, better food choices, and reducing waste.
  • Hire a grant writer to fund progressive, impactful climate projects in New Haven.

We also call on Mayor Elicker and the New Haven Board of Alders to allocate funds specifically for the Board of Education to implement climate resilience and education projects in the New Haven Public Schools District for the 2023-2024 fiscal year.

We ask that you sign this petition to demand these things from the Board of Ed, Mayor Elicker, and Board of Alders.

We also encourage you to share any personal experiences and thoughts you have about climate education, youth climate action, and environmental justice, especially if you are a New Haven Public School student or family member.

They will be incredibly powerful in making our testimony to the Board of Education and Board of Alders in the next few weeks.
