Climate Solutions for and by Frontline Communities

August 7, 2024  • Aspen Global Leadership Network

“Communities on the front lines of environment degradation have the best solutions out there. No one is going to come and rescue our communities but us.”

  • -Gloria Walton, Civil Society Fellow, President & CEO, The Solutions Project

Civil Society Fellow and winner of the 2024 McNulty Prize Gloria Walton leads The Solutions Project, an organization empowering and amplifying the work frontlines communities are already doing to solve the climate crisis, recognizing their inherent knowledge and understanding of their unique needs.

At the 2024 Resnick Aspen Action Forum, Gloria shares how The Solutions Project gives frontline communities the autonomy and places them at the center of the solutions implemented through active listening, fundraising, storytelling amplification, and strategic partnerships within government, media, philanthropy, and business sectors.
