Advancing Justice40 in Alaska
Alaska Venture Fund will assemble a “Justice40 Council” of Alaska Native leaders to develop a framework for ensuring that Indigenous communities receive a more equitable share of the benefits accruing from federal investments in green energy, climate change mitigation, affordable housing, and infrastructure. Through this grant, Alaska Venture Fund will also advance Indigenous-led, place-based environmental and climate justice projects across Alaska. Finally, AVF will support the next generation of Tribal leaders who draw upon cultural values and knowledge as they work to solve systemic vulnerabilities and create emergent opportunities within their communities.
