Nigel Golden received a 2024 Switzer Leadership Grant to support his position as Climate Justice Specialist at the Woodwell Climate Research Center. In a Woodwell Climate story, he reflects on the role’s progress so far, likening it to “watching an ecosystem evolve over time.”
“In February, Woodwell Climate Research Center’s new Climate Justice committee gathered for the very first time. Even through the computer screen, you could feel it—a buzz of anticipation, the spark of hope, as folks from across the organization came together to dream about the vision and goals ahead.
This was no ordinary meeting—it was the first step in what many hope will be a transformative journey for Woodwell Climate, guiding us toward a more just and equitable climate future. Like a handful of seeds taking root, this meeting was full of potential. Participants shared ideas and intentions that, with care and nurture, could grow into something powerful that reshapes the landscape of Woodwell Climate’s global impact.”
