We want to connect sustainable minds from across Chicago to inspire climate action in our city.
This website contains a collection of climate related initiatives that do work in Chicago. We chose the initiatives by location, focus, and activity. The documents page contains legislation and action plans.
This website is an initial effort to include all known, predominantly collaborative Chicago climate initiatives as of May, 2023.
The Initiatives page includes active and formerly active groups working in the climate field. The Documents page includes relevant materials, including action plans and policies. The News Outlets page provides a list of publications that include a focus related to climate.
We welcome suggestions for additions to these lists as well as any input regarding potential improvements. All submissions sent through the Contact Us page will be responded to as soon as possible.
The organizations included in the Chicago Climate Hub Website are based on a set criteria to ensure all information presented is active and relevant. To fit this criteria initiaves must:
•Be based in or have significant impact in Chicago.
•Focus on preventing or combatting the direct impacts of climate change.
•Have a predominantly collaborative mission.
•Remain active as of May 2023.
The Chicago Climate Hub is a project spearheaded by Foresight Design Initiative, an innovative design and consulting firm focusing on sustainability, environment, and social justice. This website was created and updated by Foresight Interns.
This project is, and will continue to be, a work in progress. There are always new initiatives being started and other information to add as the field of climate grows. If you feel we are missing anything, please let us know through the Contact Us page and forgive us while we try to keep up with this ever-changing field.
