​About The Climate Action Museum:

​The mission of the Climate Action Museum is to activate a tipping point on climate mitigation in the Chicago region through education, stimulating critical thought, and inspiring and facilitating direct action. A visit to the Climate Action Museum will become a memorable and life-altering “climate rite of passage” for a broad segment of Chicagoans. The content of the museum will be dynamic, educational, and inspire both short- and long-term decisions that mitigate our Climate Emergency

​About Latinxs in Sustainability:

​Latinxs in Sustainability is made up of a group of professionals determined to address and reduce the barriers that have led the environmental and climate field to be among the least ethnically and racially diverse across all disciplines. Our goal is to establish and facilitate pathways for underrepresented and under-resourced Latinx communities in an effort to diversify the sustainability workforce.
