Green 2.0 drives accountability via information and visibility - including praise and exposure of individual NGos, foundations, and government agencies - and their collective work on national initiatives and priorities. We elevate and sustain public attention on the racial demogrpahics of the leadership of environmental field and the degree to which these leaders are positioned to embed equity and shape the strategies, programs, and operations of their organizations. As Green 2.0 builds on the foundation of its first years, we will strengthen our infrastructure by designating staff roles that are dedicated solely to the organization, expanding and strengthening the role of our board, and honing collaboration with key partners via advisory groups and potential annual covenings. Data Transparency: We will lean in on our work to collect and report organizational - level data on NGO and funder demographics and practicies by updating and modernizing the tools we use to track progess. Movement Tracking: We will track and publicize the demographics and content of the largest annual environmental covenings, and evaulate whether and how justice and equity are embedded in the biggest environmental political campaigns and policy fights of the coming years. Public Attention: We will work through traditional and new media to spread the narrative of the growing power of the people of color and the importance of justice and equity to environmental progress in public discussions and in the framing of the environmental issues. Rewarding Leadership: We will publicize the NGO and foundation leaders who are leveraging their power and privilege to engage, fund, and provide access to people of color.
