2024 Black Climate Leadership Summit
The Taproot Noire Black Climate Leadership Summit, rooted in the work of the Taproot Earth, is gearing up to host its annual gathering during Climate Week NYC in 2024. This year’s theme, “Soul to Soil: Connecting Land, Liberation, and Black Joy,” is a powerful and meaningful exploration of the intersections between the Black experience, climate justice, relationship to land, and collective liberation. Drawing inspiration from the seminal speech “Connecting the Struggles: An Informal Talk with Black Americans” by the legendary Amilcar Cabral, this Black-exclusive space will provide a vital opportunity for participants to come together, connect with one another, and deepen their shared understanding of the critical issues facing Black communities across the Gulf South, Appalachia, and the global South.
