Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at Woodwell

WE NEED ALL VOICES IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE

Climate change is the greatest challenge of our lifetimes. Woodwell Climate
Research Center (Woodwell) understands that the climate crisis—from causes
to consequences—is inextricably linked with persistent social injustice.
Effectively addressing either requires addressing both. The climate crisis
demands that we bring to bear all of the knowledge, expertise, innovation,
and creativity that we can collectively muster, and those who have been
marginalized and disproportionately impacted must be heard.

The work Woodwell Climate does—the questions we ask, the ways we seek
answers, and the strategies we put forward—is stronger when shaped by a
diversity of knowledge, perspectives, and experiences. We strive to
welcome, respect, and amplify differing voices. We value individuals as
they are, with all their differences in race, age, ethnicity, gender
identity, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, language, and mental and
physical abilities.

Woodwell Climate acknowledges that our organization, and the scientific
community more broadly, have a long way to go in living up to these ideals.
We approach the work of improving our organization with the same ambition
and commitment to systemic change that we bring to addressing climate
change.

We will inevitably make mistakes, but we will continue to listen, learn,
and do this critical work. We understand that this work requires an ongoing
commitment from each and every one of us. We are actively engaged in
building and sustaining an equitable and inclusive culture within our
organization, and in fostering greater diversity in climate science.
