The most resilient movements start close to home. We believe in a world where people flourish in community. Where solutions are shaped locally, anchored in lived experience, and nourished by relationships rooted in trust and belonging.

Roots is a Global South organization that works to shift power, break down barriers, and expand opportunities for communities hit hardest by the climate crisis. Through capacity, advocacy, funding, and spaces to organize, we build infrastructure that supports people to turn bold ideas into locally-grounded solutions that change what’s possible in everyday life.

What we do best

Roots are builders! At the heart of everything we do is a passion for creating the platforms, spaces, and structures that bring power closer to home.

  1. Building community
  2. Developing capacity
  3. Tackling climate disinformation
  4. Resourcing campaigns
