Regeneración was founded in 2016 after a series of conversations with community leaders identified a gap at the nexus of climate and equity. We are grounded on the principle that climate change is a social justice issue with local impacts and must be engaged with on a local level in order to build resilient communities. Since 2016, Regeneración has become a vital partner in bridging between residents and climate practitioners in local cities, counties, and at the state level. Regeneración is a fiscally sponsored project of Community Initiatives.
